<p align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Welcome to 2011 and
another fantastic year of entertainment from Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre. Following the absolutely wild
December we had with <em>Annie, Gingerbread Tea,</em>
and the Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra bringing
Christmas Cheer,<em> Hillary: A Modern Greek Tragedy
with a (somewhat) Happy Ending</em> bringing laughs,
and <em>Decades of Divas</em> getting the toes tapping
for New Year's Eve, we are looking forward to a welcome
bit of breathing room in our calendar this month.</font>
</p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The main stage
production of <em><a
href="http://cvlt.org/81stSeason/bloodymurder.php">Bloody
Murder</a></em> opens on the 14th, and the Youth
Theatre commences its next session on the 8th. Our River
Street Playhouse will host <a
href="http://yourhometownchagrinfalls.com">Your
Hometown Chagrin Falls</a> on January 11. Also, CVLT
will be acting as a ticketing outlet for the January 29
performance of the <a href="http://www.chagrinarts.org">Cleveland
Jazz Orchestra</a>, brought to you by the <a
href="http://www.chagrinarts.org">Chagrin Foundation
for Arts & Culture.</a></font> <font
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">CVLT's outreach program, Accent on Youth, will
continue to be active in January at West Geauga, Solon
and Mayfield schools, presenting social and relationship
issues under the coordination of Julia Kolibab. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The CVLT Board of
Directors will meet this month at <a
href="http://www.hamletretirement.com">Hamlet Village</a>
to discuss various long-term planning issues, with Lisa
Kraemer serving as moderator. This process is invaluable
to CVLT as the Directors fashion improvements in
direction and mission, and implement programs for the
Theatre's Capital Campaign initiative, which will be
highlighted throughout the New Year.</font></p>

<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">Playwright Ed Sala offers
up a twisted whodunit in <em>Bloody Murder</em>,
a play that turns the murder-mystery genre on
its head. Premiering at Akron's Weathervane
Playhouse in January, 2009, this
fourth-wall-breaking spoof opens on January 14th
at CVLT.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">The wealthy Lady Somerset
has assembled an unlikely group of guests for a
weekend at her lavish countryside estate. The
attendees represent the usual murder-mystery
suspects; we meet a middle-aged maid, a far-too
innocent ingenue, an enigmatic and
well-preserved countess, a self-glorifying
Major, the ne'er-do-well nephew and an actor of
former acclaim. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">Sure enough, one of these
people meets a mysterious and violent end. But
Lady Somerset takes an unusual turn by refusing
to call the authorities (although the bumbling
police chief eventually arrives) and she insists
that she and her guests are simply characters in
a mystery story who must rebel against their
author. The players and their writer enter into
a wild battle of wills that delivers plenty of
laughter and a surprising end! </font></p>
