    "The Exit Interview" wraps CVLT's 84th Season with edgy, rip-roaring
    comedy

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's 65-seat River Street 
Playhouse stage is known for handling more off-the-beaten-path material 
than the 262-seat Main Stage (currently presenting the Broadway classic 
"A Chorus Line" as summer fare). THE EXIT INTERVIEW by William Missouri 
Downs, an edgy, philosophical comedy that debuted in 2012, is the 
perfect fit. Under the direction of Barbara L. Rhoades, THE EXIT 
INTERVIEW opens July 25 for a three-weekend run.

THE EXIT INTERVIEW's existential romp centers on Professor Richard Fig 
(Jerry Schaber), an expert on German playwright Bertolt Brecht, who has 
lost his university position and is suffering through an exit interview 
with Eunice, the human resources manager (Sally Morriss). After a masked 
gunman appears on campus, prompting Eunice to continue the interview 
from under her desk, the comedy abandons logic and realism, bounding 
through absurd Brechtian interludes in pursuit of life's most profound 
questions. The cast includes Sarah Anderson and Clare Scott as deranged 
cheerleaders, as well as Talia Valline, Johnetta Harris, Andrew Pavelek, 
Anthony Newman, and Michael J. Rogan playing twenty other odd 
characters. THE EXIT INTERVIEW is a darkly funny send-up that comments 
on religion, science, politics, and the human condition. It is a wild 
cap to CVLT's 84th consecutive season of live theater.

THE EXIT INTERVIEW plays on CVLT's River Street Playhouse stage at 56 
River Street in Chagrin Falls' Theatre District, July 25 -- August 9, 
2014, with performances on Friday & Saturday nights at 8 PM. Tickets are 
$12. Not recommended for sensitive audiences due to mature content. 
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.
