size="2">Your 'Summer Nights' simply aren't complete without a visit
to the familiar halls of Rydell High School in the Jim Jacobs/Warren
Casey musical Grease! Songs like 'Greased Lightning', 'Beauty School
Dropout', 'We Go Together' and of course 'Summer Nights' have made this
50s-era rock 'n' roll musical an American cultural icon. <br>
<br>
When Grease ended its initial New York run in 1980, it was the longest
running show in Broadway history, and remains the 12th-longest running
to this day. The 1978 feature film starring John Travolta and Olivia
Newton-John only boosted the popularity of the show, as did the 2007
revival and associated reality TV show, "You're The One That I Want!"
With that kind of track record, it's no surprise that Grease has become
a staple of American community theater. CVLT's production rounds out
our 79th consecutive season and is sure to knock your bobbysox off! </font></p>

<b><i>80 Years of Knockin' 'Em Dead</i></b><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! <br>
<br>
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!</font></p>

CHANCE FOR BRICK PAVERS THIS SUMMER! </b> <br>
CVLT's front walkway is quickly filling up with custom-engraved brick
pavers! The pavers are a unique way to commemorate, honor, remember, or
celebrate your events or loved ones while supporting the Chagrin Valley
Little Theatre Endownment Fund. <br>
<br>
These bricks can only be put into the ground when the weather is warm,
and only when a 'critical mass' of orders is reached. We are on the
verge of laying another round of bricks, so if you've been considering
getting one for your family, friends or business (starting at just
$75!) now is the time to order! Visit <a
