*NORTHEAST OHIO COMMUNITY THEATRE PREMIERE!*

Start off the new year with laughter! Christopher Durang's award-winning 
*VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE* is the story of three middle-aged 
siblings; Vanya (Eric Oswald) and Sonia (Sue Cohen) have remained at 
home to care for their parents (artsy types, who named their kids after 
Chekov characters), while their sister Masha (Theresa Dean) has traveled 
the world as a B-list movie star. Now their parents are gone and the 
siblings are living quiet, insular lives at their parents' estate, when 
Masha returns for a visit, bringing her boy-toy Spike (Whit Lowell).

After inviting them all to the neighbor's costume party, Masha announces 
her intentions to sell the house. Needless to say, Vanya and Sonia 
aren't on board with her plans. Soon the resident cleaning woman, 
Cassandra (Lisa Freebairn), and the neighbor's pretty niece, Nina (Alex 
Marzullo), also become tangled up in the craziness. Although the 
playwright riffs on themes from Chekov, one need not be familiar with 
the 19th Century Russian playwright to laugh heartily at this hilarious 
romp.

Christopher Durang, who is one of the most widely produced contemporary 
American playwrights, is the recipient of multiple awards, including the 
2013 "Best Play" Tony Award and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding 
Play for VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE. His mix of satire and 
absurdity is a hit with critics and audiences alike, and VANYA… itself 
was a hit when it made its professional local debut at the Cleveland 
Play House in 2015.


    THE END IS NEAR!


      "END DAYS" opens at the River Street Playhouse February 19th

<http://www.cvlt.org/86thSeason/enddays.php?utm_source=monthlymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaigan=jan2016>

Deborah Zoe Laufer's intriguing and unusual play, which won the 2008 
American Theatre Critics Association Steinberg Citation, takes to the 
River Street Playhouse stage on February 19th!

Mrs. Sylvia Stein believes The Rapture is at hand. Her husband arthur 
hasn't shed his pajamas in years. Their 'goth' teenage daughter Rachel's 
nerdy admirer Nelson likes to impersonate Elvis. The Apocalypse is 
coming on Wednesday! Can Stephen Hawking save them all?

Directed by THERESA BENYO-MARZULLO
Starring TRAVIS REILLY, REN HARRIS, BRENDA REDMOND, SCOTT STACHIW, and 
ANDREW GORDON
