    Golden-years love story "The Last Romance" warms hearts at CVLT

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Joe DiPietro is known for touching moments. As the 
author behind the hit musical /I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change/, 
and co-writer of the Tony-winning /Memphis/, he knows a thing or two 
about putting relationships on stage in a way that tugs the 
heartstrings. Such is the case with DiPietro's THE LAST ROMANCE, which 
opens on Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's intimate River Street Playhouse 
stage on April 25 under the direction of Cindee Catalano.

THE LAST ROMANCE is the story of Ralph (CVLT vet Don Edelman), an 
widower in his senior years who spots the slightly younger Carol (Mary 
Jane Nottage) walking her chihuahua (played by 'Diesel') at the local 
dog park. Impressed with the elegant and distant woman, Ralph decides to 
take a chance on love one more time by pursuing her. His lonely sister 
and caretaker, Rose (Margo Parker), does not approve. Carol isn't 
particularly interested in Ralph at first, but they soon bond as Ralph 
tells her about his missed chance to sing for the Metropolitan Opera 
(with vocalist Andrew Kondik appearing as young Ralph), and Carol tells 
him of her husband, disabled by a stroke. And yet, there are secrets to 
be revealed about both of them... will their relationship blossom? THE 
LAST ROMANCE is heartwarming comedy about life, loss, and the 
transformative power of love.

THE LAST ROMANCE plays on CVLT's River Street Playhouse stage at 56 
River Street in Chagrin Falls, April 25 - May 10, 2014, with 
performances on Friday & Saturday nights at 8 PM and on Sundays April 27 
and May 4 at 2 PM. The production is sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors 
(Phillip Rini). Tickets are $12. Seating is limited and reservations are 
recommended. Tickets for all CVLT productions can be purchased online at 
CVLT.org or by phone at 440-247-8955 between 1-6 PM, Monday through 
Saturday. CVLT is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through 
Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
