      *Chagrin Valley Little Theatre takes a "whack" at dark comedy with
      THE NORWEGIANS
      *

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - Looking for a humorous break from traditional 
holiday entertainment? The Chagrin Valley Little Theatre may have your 
ticket at The River Street Playhouse. A dark comedy, THE NORWEGIANS 
opens 8 p.m. Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving, and plays Friday and 
Saturday evenings for six performances.

Directed by Yvonne E. Pilarczyk, the play is set in the cold north. Two 
women meet in a bar and lament the struggle to find a lover before the 
first freeze. The women, 'Olive,' played by Catherine Remick and 
'Betty,' played by Marylee Gotch, also find themselves cursing the men 
who have recently scorned them.

One thing leads to the next and they enlist two "not so good at what 
they do" hit men, 'Gus' (Nick Grimsic) and 'Tor' (Don Knepper) to 
dispose of their ex-lovers. However, just as the path of love has its 
ups and downs, hilarious twists and complications arise in this business 
of revenge. Does it lead to romance? Uff da!

The play was written by C. Denby Swanson, a female playwright who offers 
a fresh new voice to contemporary comedy. It premiered in New York in 
2013 and had an off-Broadway run in 2014. Fans of "Fargo" will find the 
style of dark, northern-American humor familiar.

Show times are 8 p.m. It is best suited for adult audiences. All seats 
are $12. Tickets may be purchased online at www.CVLT.org or by calling 
the Box Office Monday through Saturday 1-6 p.m. at 440-247-8955.

CVLT's River Street Playhouse is located at 56 River St., west of the 
main CVLT building in Chagrin Falls.

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.
