    2014 starts with a laugh at CVLT with "Private Lives

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - When Noël Coward's farce PRIVATE LIVES first opened 
on the London stage in 1930, it was called "devastatingly funny." The 
classic comedy remains as sharp as ever when it opens on the Chagrin 
Valley Little Theatre stage on January 17th for a four-weekend run. The 
savvy comedy, which has been entertaining audiences as long as CVLT 
itself, is a timely romance between people who can't live without, or 
with, each other.

PRIVATE LIVES follows the saga of perpetually dueling lovers Amanda 
(Mitra Jahangiri) and Elyot (James Rankin), two divorcees who have 
unwittingly booked adjoining hotel rooms while honeymooning with their 
new spouses, Victor (Whit Lowell) and Sibyl (Sarah Katz). They soon 
realize that they'd rather be back together and impulsively flee to 
Paris, only to be caught days later by their jilted spouses.

The original London production of PRIVATE LIVES starred Noël Coward, 
Gertrude Lawrence, Adrianne Allen and Laurence Olivier. A Broadway 
production followed in 1931. The play has been revived several times on 
Broadway (including a memorable 1983 production that starred Elizabeth 
Taylor and Richard Burton), and has been produced in theaters around the 
world. CVLT's production includes a number of newcomers to the CVLT 
stage, and includes Erika Hansen, David Gaines, Ellen Nicole Morales and 
Chirvata Balla Ram. Director Fred Gloor, a theater instructor at Baldwin 
Wallace and Cuyahoga Community College, is also new to CVLT.

PRIVATE LIVES plays Friday and Saturday nights at 8 PM January 17th 
through February 8th. Tickets are $18 regular admission, $14 
student/senior. Tickets for PRIVATE LIVES and all CVLT productions can 
be purchased online at CVLT.org or by phone at 440-247-8955 between 1-6 
PM, Monday through Saturday. Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is located at 
40 River Street in historic Chagrin Falls Village. CVLT is generously 
funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture 
and supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
