ON YOUTH IN WEST GEAUGA SCHOOLS</b> <br>
CVLT's <i>Accent on Youth</i>, an outreach program which produces
relevant plays for young audiences on such difficult and significant
issues as drug abuse, physical abuse, conflict resolution, date rape,
and teen suicide, is proud to have added the West Geauga school system
to its growing area of participation. <i>AOY</i> uses student actors
in plays to act as a catalyst for change through the power of live
theatre, and is made possible through the interest and guidance of the <a

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>MURDER
BY THE FALLS 2009: <em>80 Years of Knockin' 'Em Dead</em> </b>
(September 11 / 12)<br>
CVLT has produced over a hundred musicals since 1930. In honor of the
80th Season, over a dozen familiar leading characters from these
musicals have been summoned to the stage for a benefit concert. This
odd array of personalities makes life hell for the director and stage
manager, but the situation takes a fatal turn when the overworked
costumer is found murdered on the stage! Who's to blame? Was it the
gunslinging 'Curly' from <i>Oklahoma</i>? Perhaps the lunatic
swordsman 'Don Quixote' from <i>Man of La Mancha</i>? And what about
the bloody-handed 'Maria' from <i>West Side Story</i> or the
overbearing 'Mama Rose' from <i>Gypsy</i>? It's up to the audience to
help 'Inspector Gotcha' and 'Detective Ketchum' crack the case! This
year's <i>Murder</i> takes place on September 11 & 12. Tickets
will go on sale in August and always disappear quickly, so keep your
eyes on CVLT.org!</font></p>
