<h2 style="font: bold 12pt sans-serif; text-transform:

CVLT</h2>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;" align="left">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre starts 2011 with
Ed Sala's <em>Bloody Murder</em>, a twisted,
fourth-wall-breaking, whodunit/spoof that turns the
murder-mystery genre on its head. The play will be on
CVLT's main stage Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM,
January 14 - February 5. </p>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;">The wealthy Lady Somerset
(Linda Ryan) 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
far-too innocent ingenue (Tary Lyn Bergoine), an enigmatic
and well-preserved Countess (Tary Lyn Bergoine), a
self-glorifying Major (Rollin DeVere), the Lady's
ne'er-do-well nephew (Eric Oswald), an alcoholic fading
actor (Steve Ryan) and, of course, the obligatory maid
(Lisa Tarr).</p>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;">As is often the case with
these scenarios, one of the characters meets a mysterious
and violent end. But Lady Somerset takes an unusual turn
by refusing to call the authorities, insisting that she
and her guests are simply characters in a mystery story
who must ignore the death and join her in revolt against
the "perfectly dreadful author". The players and their
playwright enter into a wild battle of wills that delivers
plenty of laughter and a surprising end!</p>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;"><em>Bloody Murder</em> is
directed by Douglas Farren and made its world premiere at
Akron's Weathervane Playhouse in January, 2009.</p>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;"><em>Bloody Murder</em>
tickets are $16 regular, $12 for students and seniors, and
are available at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.CVLT.org">www.CVLT.org</a>, or by phone at
440-247-8955, Monday through Saturday from 1-6 PM.</p>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;">Complete details on CVLT's
81st Season are available online at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.CVLT.org">www.CVLT.org</a>. The
theater is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin
Falls Village. Dinner packages are available with local
restaurants.</p>
<p style="font: 10pt sans-serif;">Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents
through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by the
Ohio Arts Council.</p>
