<br>
</i>Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM<br>

<p align="center"><b><font

Directed by Barbara L. Rhoades</font></b></p>
<p align="justify"> <font
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Few situations could
raise more concern in the average man than waking up after a night of
drunken bachelor partying to find a strange, naked woman next to him in
bed. However, when that man is the groom, and is getting married in
only a few hours, and that woman is not his wife, things can quickly
get stickier than a face full of wedding cake frosting.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Such is the situation for Bill (Adam V. Young), the hapless
leading man in <i>Perfect Wedding</i>, a comedy from British
playwright Robin Hawdon (<i>Don't Dress for Dinner, The Mating Game</i>).
While Bill is attempting to recall who this young woman (Brenda
Redmond) is, his best man Tom (Eric Oswald) is soon knocking at the
hotel room door, and not far behind is his fiancée Rachel (Rachel D.
Zake). Throw in the bride's mother Daphne (Elaine Sonnie) and Julie the
hotel maid (Denise Bernstein), and you have all of the necessary
ingredients for a riotous farce! This tangled and touching love story
spins with hilarious confusion, mistaken identities, and cover-up lies
opens on our main stage this Friday! </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2"><b>WEDDING DRESS SILENT AUCTION</b><br>
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will be offering two very special
promotions in conjunction with this production; a silent auction of
designer bridal gowns will be held throughout the run of <i>Perfect
Wedding</i>, with gowns on display in the lobby of the theatre and at
the theatre's website.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2"><b>GET MARRIED ON OUR STAGE</b><br>
In addition, CVLT is offering a 'perfect wedding' on the <i>Perfect
Wedding</i> set to any interested couple (opening and closing nights
excepted). The theatre will provide the stage and will play any music
provided on the theatre's sound system. A wine and cheese reception in
the theatre's River Room, as well as free tickets for the bride and
groom and a group discount to their family and friends are also
included. <b>Interested couples should send a 100-word or less
statement on why they'd like to celebrate their special day in this
unique way to <a
href="mail:nancy@cvlt.org?subject=Perfect%20Wedding%20Contest">nancy@cvlt.org</a>
by June 5.</b> A three-person committee of CVLT Board members will
choose the winner.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Tickets:</b>
$14 regular / $10 for students and seniors. </font></p>
