      *CVLT has your Christmas and New Year's Eve Covered!*

The holiday entertainment continues this month at CVLT with two very 
different Christmas productions - on our main stage, the musical 
adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL 
<http://www.cvlt.org/84thSeason/christmascarol.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2013> 
from Alan Menken (the composer who brought you many of Disney's recent 
hits), and on our River Street stage, David Sedaris' THE SANTALAND 
DIARIES and SEASON'S GREETINGS 
<http://www.cvlt.org/84thSeason/sedaris.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2013>, 
two hilarious one-acts for those with a taste for the more edgy and 
quirky side of the holidays.

We also have three special events to enjoy for the holidays - our annual 
Holiday Show & Gingerbread Tea 
<http://www.cvlt.org/84thSeason/gingerbread.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2013> 
is always a delight for the little ones, the whole family can enjoy the 
Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra Holiday Concert 
<http://www.cvlt.org/84thSeason/cfso-.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2013> 
and the one-night cabaret, BENDING BROADWAY: A New Year's Eve Revue 
<http://www.cvlt.org/84thSeason/newyear.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2013>.

In sadder news, the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre lost two great friends 
during the month of November. We said goodbye to Bill Harper, a former 
member of our Board of Directors, and to Chery Suchan, who costumed our 
actors for countless productions and appeared on stage on occasion. This 
year's Holiday Show & Gingerbread Tea 
<http://www.cvlt.org/84thSeason/gingerbread.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dec2013> 
is dedicated in Chery's memory.

See you soon,
