    VOTE YES on ISSUE 8

Over the past eight years, *Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has received 
nearly $285,140 in support from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC)*, and will 
have received over $330,000 when our current award ends in 2017. This 
money has helped us to hire a full time Technical Director and key other 
personnel, and enabled us to continue bringing you the best in community 
theater. This type of funding strengthens our community, and enriches 
the quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of all ages.

Cuyahoga Arts & Culture is the public funder of arts and culture 
organizations, programs and events in Cuyahoga County. CAC's sole 
funding source is a dedicated cigarette tax levied within Cuyahoga 
County. Established by voters in 2007, CAC has awarded over 1,200 grants 
since then, distributing over $125 million in tax dollars to more than 
300 organizations based in the County. Renewal of this funding source 
will be on the Cuyahoga County ballot on November 3rd.

*We encourage you to vote YES on Issue 8 to help keep organizations like 
ours strong and growing!*

    CVLT ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT

At the annual meeting on October 20th, CVLT elected *Chris White* as its 
new President of the Board. Tom Neff, who has served as President since 
2004, will act as Vice President.

Ms. White has appeared in many productions on our stage and others over 
the past decade and beyond, and will combine her first-hand knowledge of 
CVLT's artistic side with her business experience to continue our legacy.

She is already hard at work focusing on the theater's long-range plans 
and a re-energization of our fund raising and renovation goals.

Welcome, Chris!

Based on the beloved 1968 film, /Chitty Chitty Bang Bang/ will have 
audiences of all ages flying high with its mixture of madness, intrigue 
and exuberance. Can a loveable but wacky inventor and his children 
outwit the bombastic Baron Bomburst who has decreed that all children be 
banished from his kingdom? Can the children avoid the clutches of the 
evil Childcatcher? With the help of their friend Truly Scrumptious, the 
fantastic titular flying car, and a few wonderful songs by the 
award-winning Sherman brothers, it's sure to turn out splendidly in the end!

**** Tickets for the November 29th matinee* are available exclusively 
through Friends of WomenSafe <http://www.fows.info>, a 501(c)3

This holiday season, leave the kids at home and head north for laughter 
with C. Denby Swanson's playfully dark comedy THE NORWEGIANS, at CVLT's 
River Street Playhouse. The River Street is CVLT's smaller second venue, 
just west of the main theater building.

Marylee Gotch and Katherine Remick play jilted ladies Olive and Betty, 
two former southern women now living in Minnesota. They've hired 
Norwegian hit-men Gus (Nick Grimsic) and Tor (Don Knepper) to whack 
their ex-boyfriends. These gangsters, it turns out, aren't so great at 
what they do...

After the bustle of Thanksgiving is over, give yourself a treat with 
this /Fargo/-esque tale that's bound to keep you laughing!

    AUDITIONS for Monty Python's "SPAMALOT" (April 2016)

The hit musical based on the 1975 comedy juggernaut, with songs by Eric 
Idle, Neil Innes and John Du Prez, follows King Arthur and his knights 
on a hilariously outrageous quest for the Holy Grail.

Director - John Haller
Musical Director - Matthew Dolan
Choreographer - Jen Justice
