The public's fascination with the enigmatic sinking of the RMS Titanic 
in 1912 plays a role in the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre production of 
Jeffrey Hatcher's SCOTLAND ROAD. The suspenseful play opens the new 
season at the River Street Playhouse, with six performances at 8 p.m. 
Fridays and Saturdays Oct. 16-31. The River Street is CVLT's smaller, 
65-seat venue, playing host to more intimate and unusual material than 
the 262-seat Main Stage next door.

SCOTLAND ROAD's improbable tale is a delicious game of cat-and-mouse 
where no one is what they seem. Set in the 1990s, the mystery swirls 
around Winifred (Talia Valline), a beautiful young woman found floating 
on an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic wearing 19th century 
clothing. When rescued, the girl says just one word: "Titanic." Could 
she somehow be a survivor of the doomed ship, untouched by decades of time?

An expert on the ship's sinking, played by Vince Sarowatz, tries to get 
her to reveal her true identity, assisted in his endeavors by Dr. 
Halbrech (Claudia Lillibridge). The reclusive last known living survivor 
of the shipwreck, Ms. Kittle (Linda Ryan), is also brought into the mix.

"With the many plot twists and turns, working on SCOTLAND ROAD has been 
a thrilling ride," said the show's director Laurel Bryant. "Delving into 
each character led my cast and crew into profound discussions on the 
complex nature of the human spirit. Each of us holds a secret identity 
that we fear will be discovered, but by revealing our secrets, we find 
we all share a common bond." The play is produced by Kourtney Daugherty, 
with John Hickman and Marissa Gelender managing the stage and technical 
aspects.

SCOTLAND ROAD was the 1993 winner of the Lois and Richard Rosenthal 
annual New Play Prize. Hatcher's inspiration for the story came from a 
tabloid headline: "Titanic Survivor Found on Iceberg," along with a 
biography of William Godwin, who had tried to interview an alleged 
200-year-old defrosted ice man, only to find it a hoax.

CVLT's River Street Playhouse is located at 56 River St., west of the 
main CVLT building in Chagrin Falls. All seats are $12. Call the Box 
Office Monday through Saturday 1-6 p.m. at 440-247-8955 or visit the 
website 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
