      Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has a recipe for laughter with DON'T
      DRESS FOR DINNER

*Subheading:* CVLT's staging of this hit French farce runs weekends May 
31 - June 15

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH — Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is cooking up the 
perfect recipe for farce with DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER, written by French 
playwright Marc Camoletti and adapted by Robin Hawdon. The production 
runs May 31 – June 15, 2024 with performances Fridays & Saturdays at 
7:30 PM and Sundays June 2 & 9 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $21 with a $4 
discount for seniors and military. CVLT.org or (440) 247-8955

Director Christopher Bizub’s deliciously funny dish calls for one 
philandering husband (Joe Kenderes), his mistress (Katie Wells), and one 
Cordon Bleu chef (Mia Radabaugh) hired for their secret weekend getaway 
to a countryside chateau. His best friend (Vince Stillitano) is in the 
mix as their facilitator and alibi. Things get spicy when adding a dash 
of his wife (Jaimee Moore) and the mistress’s husband (Barry Moses). 
Blend with some classic mistaken identities and hilarious mishaps, then 
stir with a slapstick and turn up the heat! The result is a wild comedy 
that’ll satisfy your appetite for laughs.

This two-act play was written by Camoletti as somewhat of a sequel to 
his smash 1960s hit comedy /Boeing Boeing/. Hawdon’s English version, 
adapted from the original with his own changes and additions, was a 
long-running smash in Paris and London in the 1990s. It was followed by 
a Tony Award nominated revival on Broadway in 2012, not to mention 
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s own 2011 production that received rave 
reviews from audiences and critics alike.

The production team for CVLT’s presentation includes stage manager 
Brittany Bizub, producers Cindee Catalano and Mason Stewart, costumer 
Kelsey Tomlinson, scenic and lighting director Tom West, prop mistress 
Nancy Rogoff, and lighting operator T.J. Hayes. The play is presented by 
arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

The theatre has partnered with restaurant 17 River Grille, located 
across the street, for a special "Don't Stress for Dinner" arrangement. 
Arrive in Chagrin early to get more convenient parking as well as 
special offers on your pre-show meal. Due to limited parking and the 
major bridge reconstruction project in Chagrin Falls, ticket 
pre-purchases and early arrival are highly recommended.

Tickets for DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER are available 24/7 at the CVLT.org 
website. For ticket inquiries and reservations, please contact the 
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre Box Office at (440) 247-8955 or via email 
at BoxOffice at CVLT.org. Phone sales are available from 1-6 PM, Tuesday 
through Friday, with the box office opening two hours before all 
performances. CVLT is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin 
Falls Village.
