<h2>CVLT's 25th "Murder" to feature Les Roberts, Jan Jones…
and ghostbusters</h2>
<p align="left">CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Every theatre has its
ghost stories and Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is no
different. Over the years, the resident spirit has been
handy in making lost props reappear, repairing costumes,
un-sticking paint cans, and generally helping out in
unexpected and mysterious ways. But in CVLT's 25th annual
<em>Murder by the Falls</em> event, taking place on
September 10th and 11th, things have suddenly changed;
light bulbs are breaking, doors are being locked, buckets
are upturned, makeup and shoes are being ruined… clearly
the ghost suddenly wants to get everyone's attention. When
an overzealous reporter writes about it in the local
paper, the theater is beset with kooky paranormal
investigators who all want to make contact!</p>
<p align="left">Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's
audience-participation mystery fund raiser, produced with
generous support from South Franklin Circle and other
sponsors, kicks off the Theatre's 81st consecutive season
with intrigue and goofball humor. The evening begins with
a pre-show hors d’oeuvre reception with beer/wine cash
bar, followed by Act I, in which a mystery is unveiled.
During intermission, the audience searches Chagrin Falls
Village for clues hidden in store windows and interviews
live actors on the street. A catered dessert follows
where audience members, in teams of eight, make their
accusations on paper. The evening completes with the
revealing of the criminal's identity in Act II and prizes
being awarded to the winning team. Money raised from the
event helps with operating expenses as the theatre kicks
off its new season.</p>
<p align="left">This year's show, entitled <em>Who Ya Gonna
Call?</em> is the third original script by
brother/sister team Andrew and Greta Rothman. The
playwrights experimentally deviate from the traditional
format this time around, with the audience being
challenged not just to reveal the criminal, but also what
crime they committed, by deciphering messages that the
various ghost hunters receive from the theatre's haunting
habitant. Where the show does follow tradition is in its
use of CVLT regulars along side local notables. This
year's cast features acclaimed author Les Roberts ("King
of the Holly Hop", "Pepper Pike", "The Cleveland
Connection") along with cameos by Chagrin Falls Mayor Tom
Brick, South Russell Mayor Matthew Brett, Bentleyville
Mayor Leonard Spremulli, Chagrin Falls Police Chief James
Brosius, and Geauga County Sheriff Daniel McClelland.
Cleveland television favorite Jan Jones, a vetern of
several <em>Murder by the Falls</em> shows, appears as
the flamboyant medium "Madame Chanél LeFou".</p>
<p align="left">Andrew Rothman and Michelle Kaiser lead the
proceedings once more as the wise-cracking Inspector
Gotcha and Detective Ketchum, with Jon Gellott as a 'John
Edward'-type psychic, Adam Young and Don Bernardo as a
'Ghostbusting team', and Amy Pelleg as a 'Ghost
Whisperer'. Along for the ride are Paula Pike as the
Theatre's resentful House Manager, Hannah Beaumont as the
beleaguered Scenic Designer, Brandon Hood as the skittish
Treasurer, <b>Frank Mularo as the cranky Facilities
manager</b>, Pat Mazzarino as reporter 'Scoop
Gutenberg', and Steve Pike as 'Officer Bookem'. Greta
Rothman will direct the production.</p>
<p align="left">Tickets for <em>Murder by the Falls: Who Ya
Gonna Call?</em> are $50 per person, with $25 of that
cost as a tax-deductible donation to Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre. Tickets are available by phone at 440-247-8955,
Monday through Saturday from 1-6 PM. Complete details on
CVLT's 81st Season are available online at <a

is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin Falls
Village. </p>
