    ALL ABOARD FOR LAUGHS WITH "TWENTIETH CENTURY" AT CVLT

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Attention, please! The Twentieth Century Limited for 
New York and Boston is now ready on Track 14. All aboard! TWENTIETH 
CENTURY is a screwball comedy by Ken Ludwig, playwright of numerous hits 
including /Lend Me A Tenor/, /Leading Ladies,/ and /Moon Over Buffalo/, 
adapted from the classic Ben Hecht & Charles Macarthur comedy. The 
musical version of the same story is set for a star-studded Broadway 
revival in 2015. TWENTIETH CENTURY pulls in to Chagrin Valley Little 
Theatre under the direction of Barbara L. Rhoades for a four-weekend run 
starting on May 30th.

Set in 1933 on the Twentieth Century Limited train from Chicago to New 
York City, TWENTIETH CENTURY is a story of 'Broadway ballyhoo meets 
Hollywood hustle.' The comedy centers around Oscar Jaffe (Tim Walsh), 
the desperate theater producer who will do anything to get the signature 
of his ex-lover and star actress Lily Garland (Grace Mannarino) on a 
contract for his latest play. He will lie, cheat, and even pretend to be 
dying to bring the star back from Hollywood to Broadway, and back to his 
side. Trying to make sense of the chaos are his long time assistants 
Webb (Natalie Dolezal) and O'Malley (Jerry Schaber). Also on board are 
Lily's new lover George (Lance King), Max (another ex-lover and 
producer, played by Stephen Kay) and Myrtle (Doreen Lazarus-Harris) a 
religious fanatic looney who has escaped from an institution. Tom Hill 
appears as Dr. Lockwood with Keri Lambert as his mistress Anita, Andrew 
Bores appears as Beard and the Detective, and James Harris and Cody 
Steele guide the train as Conductor and Porter.

TWENTIETH CENTURY plays on CVLT's Main Stage at 40 River Street in 
Chagrin Falls' Theatre District, May 30 - June 21, 2014, with 
performances on Friday & Saturday nights at 8 PM. Tickets are $18 
regular, $14 students and seniors. Not recommended for children due to 
adult themes and suggestive language. 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.
