<h2>CVLT's HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT TRADITIONS CONTINUE THIS WEEKEND
</h2>
<p>CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - The annual <em>Holiday Show with Santa
and His Friends / The Gingerbread Tea</em> is returning to Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre’s Main Stage on Saturday and Sunday, December
13th and 14th! Children will delight in this lighthearted romp with
Mrs. Claus, Frosty, Mousie the mouse puppet, Santa's elves, Rudolph and
other characters. As ever, Old Man Winter will show up to cause havoc
with his antics until he is caught and taught a lesson. Children are
invited on stage to help sing Christmas songs, and Santa Claus himself
will arrive near the end of the show for photo opportunities with Santa
and their favorite characters.</p>
<p> 'Gingerbread Tea' featuring punch and snacks is available
upstairs in CVLT's River Room a half-hour before and after each
showtime. Tea is served at 12:30 & 1:30 for 1 PM shows and and 3:00
& 4:00 for 3:30 PM shows. Tea seating is limited to 60 per
tea-time. <i>The Holiday Show</i> tickets are $6 all seats, with a
$2-add on for 'tea' reservations. </p>
<p>The Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra and musical director
Stephen A. Eva will present <em>Here We Go a Wassailing</em>, its
family-friendly, holiday-themed concert, on Sunday, December 21, 2008,
at 7 p.m on the stage at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre. In the spirit
of traditional caroling, the 45-piece Studio Orchestra will perform as
the audience “wassails” along to beloved Christmas carols including
"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)", "Silver
Bells", "Frosty the Snowman", "We Need a Little Christmas", and "Jingle
Bells", as well as original studio arrangements for "It’s the Most
Wonderful Time of the Year" and "O Holy Night". Internationally
renowned musicians Jocelyn Chang, harpist, and Michael Leese, flautist,
will offer a pre-concert performance with a wassail bowl to share
beginning at 6:15 p.m., and will join the Studio Orchestra as guest
artists during the concert along with Cleveland-area vocalists Ryann
Angelotti, Pat Mazzarino, and Bridgette Davis. Tickets are $15 for all
seats. </p>
<p><em>The Wizard of Oz</em> continues on our main stage Friday
and Saturday nights at 8 PM through December 20. Tickets are $16 for
regular admission, and $12 for students and seniors. And for the mature
crowd, the highly popular dark comedy <i>The Eight: Reindeer
Monologues
</i>continues Friday and Saturday nights at 8 PM at our River
Street
Playhouse through December 19. Tickets are $8. </p>
