<h2>CVLT presents Ohio premiere of comedy by best-seller Mitch
Albom</h2>
<p>CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Mitch Albom is internationally renowned
for his deeply touching novels <em>Tuesdays with Morrie </em>and <em>The
Five People You Meet in Heaven</em>. The television version of <em>Tuesdays
With Morrie</em> (produced by Oprah Winfrey and starring Jack Lemmon
and Hank Azaria) garnered four Emmy awards, including best TV film,
director, actor and supporting actor. Albom's novels have earned him a
reputation as a master of serious, inspirational drama. His play, <em>Duck
Hunter Shoots Angel</em>, is something else entirely. </p>
<p><em>Duck Hunter Shoots Angel, </em>Albom’s first play not
based on a book, as well as his first comedy, makes its Ohio premiere
at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre on April 24th under the direction of
Robert McCoy. In <em>Duck Hunter</em>, two bungling Alabama brothers
(Eric Oswald and Mike Rogan) think they’ve shot an angel, not a duck,
while hunting in the swampy southern woods. A washed up, cynical
tabloid reporter (Adam Young) and his unwilling photographer (Marvin
Mallory) are sent by their boss (Kevin Derrick) to cover the story, but
soon begin to think there might be something to it after they discover
feathers, a wing, and a tiara at the scene. Throw in a shopgirl at the
local Gasmart (Alex Marzullo), a half-man/half-alligator (George
Spelvin), and a ghost, and you have a classic "culture clash" comedy
bearing a love story, sibling rivalry, yellow journalism, and
ultimately a heartfelt message.</p>
<p><em>Duck Hunter Shoots Angel </em> runs Friday and Saturday
evenings at 8 PM from April 24 through May 16. Tickets are $14 or $10
for students and seniors and can be purchased online 24 hours a day 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.
Also playing on CVLT's River Street Playhouse second stage is the
quirky romantic comedy <em>Almost, Maine</em> through May 2 ($8). </p>
<p>Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga
County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by
the Ohio Arts Council.</p>
