[NEohioPAL] Stream "Visiting Mr. Green" from CVLT.org on July 25 & 26

[Andrew Rothman]

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s 65-seat River Street Playhouse stage is
perfect for intimate stagings with smaller casts. In 2016 it was the venue
for Jeff Baron’s award-winning *Visiting Mr. Green* under the direction of
Carol Jaffee Pribble. Audiences and critics alike were thrilled with the
production, and Mr. Baron remarked that actors Don Edelman and Krystopher
Perry were very well cast and that the production was nicely done.

On Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26, CVLT will be streaming the
archival video of *Visiting Mr. Green* for a pay-as-you-can admission. For

"Visiting Mr. Green" stars veteran actor Don Edelman as Mr. Green, an
elderly, grumpy, devoutly Jewish widower who wanders into New York City
traffic, nearly being hit by the car of 29-year-old finance executive Ross
Gardiner (played by Krystopher Perry). As a community service sentence,
Gardiner is ordered to assist Mr. Green, visiting him weekly. What starts
as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together
becomes a gripping, moving drama as they get to know each other, opening
old wounds they’ve been hiding and nursing for years.

Mr. Green is Baron’s best-known play, earning numerous awards around the
world, including the KulturPreis Europa, of which Baron was the first
playwright and the first American recipient.

“Families are the same everywhere,” explains the playwright. “Everyone
knows someone like Mr. Green and everyone knows someone like Ross. Their
specific characteristics make the story interesting, but their humanness
and the struggles they’re each going through, make the play personal for
almost everyone.”
