      CVLT's comedy ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID starts down the aisle on May 29

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - If you've ever elbowed a stranger out of the way 
to catch a bride's bouquet, seriously questioned the mental stability of 
the duo saying "I do" or been forced to wear the world's ugliest 
bridesmaid dress, Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's deliriously funny 
ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID is definitely for you. The play opens its 
four-weekend run on the main stage at 40 River Street starting May 29, 
with the message that careers, waistlines, and even marriages may 
disappear, but real friendships last a lifetime.

In this hilarious comedic romp, four Southern women have sworn to keep 
the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each 
other's weddings at any cost. More than thirty years later, these 
friends-for-life are still determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth 
(Helen Graf) is the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage who 
believes that her friends can find the very same happiness. Headstrong 
Deedra (Mary Mahoney) has found her rock-solid marriage cracking due to 
her husband's wandering eye and hands to match. Monette (Evie Koh) is 
flashy, high-spirited, and self-involved, continually testing her 
friends' love and patience with all-too-frequent trips down the aisle. 
And salt-of-the-earth Charlie (Jenny Barrett) wonders if marital bliss 
is not really what she wants, panicking when the opportunity presents 
itself. The wisdom and love of the four friends is shared with Libby 
Ruth's daughter, Kari (Macey Staninger), who is about to be wed at the 
reception hall managed by the energetic Sedalia (Grace Mannarino).

CVLT audiences have enjoyed the work of Jones/Hope/Wooten before, giving 
standing ovations to the theatre's award-winning production of /The 
Dixie Swim Club/ in 2010. The writing team has a remarkable resume; 
Jessie Jones co-authored the play which became the star-laden 2001 film 
/Kingdom Come/, Nicholas Hope has received applause for several award 
winning plays and television episodes, and Jamie Wooten spent many years 
as writer/producer for /The Golden Girls/. Like /Dixie Swim Club/, this 
new CVLT production is directed by Barbara L. Rhoades, who brings with 
her over 25 years of directorial experience and accolades to bear on 
this charming and funny script.

ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID plays at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, May 
29 - June 19. CVLT is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin 
Falls. Tickets are $18 regular, $14 students/seniors. Call the Box 
Office 1-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday at 440-247-8955, or order them online at 
www.CVLT.org.

CVLT is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through /Cuyahoga 
Arts and Culture and supported by the Ohio Arts Council. CVLT is a proud 
member of the American Association of Community Theatre.
