      CVLT to present Arthur Miller's family drama "The Price"

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre uses its 60-seat River 
Street Playhouse for smaller and more intimate productions than the 
262-seat main stage next door. The first play of CVLT's 85th Season will 
open on the smaller stage October 17th: THE PRICE by Arthur Miller (The 
Crucible, Death of a Salesman). The production is directed by Cindee 
Catalano-Edelman, and sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors / Phillip Rini.

THE PRICE is a moving drama about two estranged brothers who come to 
their father's New York brownstone to settle the estate before the 
building is demolished. Victor Franz (Frank J. Laukiavicius) is the 
policeman who took care of their father rather than pursue his dreams, 
while his brother Walter Franz (Bob Fortlage) is the successful doctor 
who has been gone for sixteen years. Victor's wife Esther (Chris White) 
is also present, urgently waiting for her husband to retire. Joining in 
the messy task of sorting through the Franz family's junk, both literal 
and figurative, is Solomon (Don Edelman), the mysterious appraiser and 
antique dealer looking for anything of value among the late Mr. Franz' 
possessions.

This is an excellent opportunity to see veteran local actors performing 
the work of an American master in an intimate space. Arthur Miller was 
the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, seven Tony Awards, two Drama Critics 
Circle Awards, an Obie, an Olivier, The John F. Kennedy Lifetime 
Achievement Award, and the Dorothy and Lillian Gish prize.

Performances of THE PRICE are at 8:00 PM on Fridays October 17, 24 and 
31, Saturdays October 18, 25, and November 1. A 2:00 PM matinee will be 
performed on October 19. All tickets are $12 and advanced purchase and 
arrival is recommended. Tickets can be purchased from the box office by 
phone at (440) 247-8955 or via the CVLT website at www.CVLT.org. Chagrin 
Valley Little Theatre's River Street Playhouse is located at 56 River 
Street in the Theatre District of downtown Chagrin Falls.

CVLT is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga 
Arts and Culture and supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
