<h2>The world's most famous detective arrives at CVLT</h2>
<p>CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - The year is 1891, and Sherlock Holmes is
dead. Or is he? Perhaps this is just a clever scheme by the world's
greatest detective to ensnare his great adversary, the devious
Professor Moriarty. Only Holmes' faithful friend, Dr. Watson, knows for
sure. Chagrin Valley Little Theatre audiences are invited to discover
the truth through a cross-continental race with the master of deduction
entitled <em>Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure</em>. Steven Dietz'
play, based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories <em>A Scandal
in Bohemia</em> and <em>The Final Problem</em>, will open at CVLT on
March 14th, playing Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 through March
29th.</p>
<p>Under the direction of Alex Nine, we meet Holmes (Charles
Leonard) at the end of his career; a man of science coming to grips
with his nemesis Moriarty (Michael Rogan), as well as with his heart's
desire in the form of Irene Adler (Brenda Redmond). <span
class="centered">Adler is an opera singer and former love of the King
of Bohemia (Greg Bealer). Holmes has been following her career and her
voice with interest, but once he meets her in the flesh, he is smitten.
The story of their travels together and Holmes' </span> battle against
his personal demons are related to us by the detective's assistant,
Watson (Gary Speidel). The thrilling plot twists its way from Victorian
London to a deadly showdown in the Swiss Alps. But who will walk away
from the perilous Reichenbach Falls? To be sure, with Holmes on the
case, you're in for a night on the edge of your seat, filled with
suspense, mystery, drama and a healthy dose of humor.</p>
<p>Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will be hosting a gala dinner at
the theatre on March 29th at 6:00 PM. Tickets to the special event are
$60 per guest, which includes a catered dinner featuring beef
tenderloin, blue cheese soufflé, English trifle and more, followed by
the final performance of <em>Holmes</em>. Call the box office to
reserve your seat at this limited-seating event by March 26th. </p>
<p> Tickets for <em>Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure </em>can
be purchased online at <a href="http://www.CVLT.org">www.CVLT.org</a>,
or by calling the Box Office at 440-247-8955 between 1 and 6 PM, Monday
through Saturday. CVLT is located at 40 River Street in historic
Chagrin Falls Village.</p>
