*CVLT brings Robin Hood to Chagrin Falls with "Sherwood" in January**
*

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Following a record-breaking holiday season, Chagrin 
Valley Little Theatre will round out the first half of its 93rd Season 
with Ken Ludwig's /Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood./ The play 
runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM on the stage at 40 River Street 
from January 20 - February 4. A 2 PM matinee will be held on Sunday, 
January 29, followed by an open discussion with /Sherwood/ director and 
amateur medieval historian Don Bernardo. Tickets are $21, with a $4 
discount for students, seniors, and active military and are available 
online at CVLT.org or by phone at 440-247-8955.

Ludwig's play is based on the classic tale of Robin Hood (played by 
Grant Orndorff). Originating in English ballads of the Late Middle Ages, 
it's the story of a nobleman who leaves his privileged life to stand up 
for the downtrodden. He is joined by his friends Little John (Douglas R. 
Vanek), Friar Tuck (Adam V. Young), and the peasant girl Deorwynn 
(Michela Palma), among others. In Ludwig's retelling, the flawed Robin 
finds his ideals challenged and shaped by his compatriots — particularly 
the feisty Maid Marian Fitzwalter (Alex Petsche), who steals his heart 
with her sword in hand.

The swashbuckling tale is filled with romance, humor, and action as the 
righteous troupe fights the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham (Scott 
Sanborn) and Guy of Gisbourne (John-Paul Whitman), who work for Prince 
John (Joe Kenderes). Also along for the adventure are "merry men and 
women" played by Julian Kruyne, Carlos Canaztuj, Maureen Basista, Micah 
Saunders, Steve Mullett, and Claudia Lillibridge

Mr. Bernardo's post-show talk on 1/29, entitled "Who was Robin Hood?  
The Identity of the Outlaw Revealed!" will give a brief historical 
review of the Robin Hood legends, and their impact on popular culture 
both past and present.

The production team includes Kate Williams-Bernardo (Producer), Brenda 
Willis (Stage Manager), Jacklyn Kruyne (Costumes), Kevin Inouye (Fight 
Choreographer), and Tom West (Technical Director).

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded through 
individual and corporate contributions. Our programming is made possible 
in part by the citizens of Cuyahoga Country through Cuyahoga County Arts 
and Culture and by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature
