that, but we reveal the details of our <strong>82nd

<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">Robin Hawdon's <em>Don't
Dress for Dinner</em> adapted from the French
playwright Marc Camoletti's Pyjamas Pour Six (a
sequel to his record-breaking Boeing-Boeing),
made its Ohio premiere on the Chagrin Valley
Little Theatre stage in 1996. Directed by
Barbara L. Rhoades, it was chosen from several
area plays as 'Best Comedy of the Year' by The
Chagrin Valley Times. Now Ms. Rhoades is back to
mount a new production of this hilarious romp,
which will open at CVLT on June 3rd.</font> </p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2"> <em>Don't Dress for
Dinner</em> is packed with all the bawdy
hijinx that farce fans expect, and stars a cast
of actors who are seasoned in the genre. Bernard
(Adam Young) has made plans for a weekend of
extra-marital affairs at the quaint getaway
farmhouse he owns with his wife, Jacqueline (Jen
Klika), while she is out of town. He has invited
his mistress Suzanne (Amy Pelleg) for a few days
of fooling around, kicking off with a romantic
dinner prepared by the hired caterer, Suzette
(Chris White). He's also invited his best friend
Robert (Don Bernardo) to come and stay for the
weekend. Unbeknownst to Bernard, Jacqueline is
equally bad with monogamy and has her own 'man
on the side'. That man happens to be Robert.
When Jacqueline decides to remain at the country
house rather than leaving town as Bernard
expected, and the cook's husband George (Brad
Baker) arrives without warning, it's a recipe of
spouses, friends, lovers, and women called
'Suzy' that's custom-made to boil over with
laughs.</font></p>

Traveller</a>, North America's #1 Moody Blues
tribute band, is collaborating with the 50-piece
<a
href="http://www.chagrinfallsstudioorchestra.org/">Chagrin
Falls Studio Orchestra</a> to produce a show
in the spirit of the famous Moody Blues concert
at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony and the
Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">CFSO conductor Steve Eva
enthusiastically promotes this event as a way
for "mature adults" to relive some of the best
music of their youth while also introducing
their kids and grandchildren to "true classic
rock." "This will be a rock concert with an
orchestra, not an orchestra doing a rock
concert!" he proudly proclaimed, adding that
unlike a "sterile" orchestra concert, this
performance will be fast-paced with no
intermission. "Even my 16-year-old son is
psyched about this concert!" </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">The concert will include
three decades of Moody Blues classics, including
"Nights in White Satin," "Ride My See Saw,"
"Isn't Life Strange," "Tuesday Afternoon" and
"Lovely to See You." The original orchestral
arrangements were not available so Eva
commissioned composer, arranger and jazz
trumpeter Ralph Guzzi, a Pittsburgh-based
musician whose credits include numerous PBS and
other television specials. In coordination with
expert sound and lighting technician Gary
Simmons (Time Traveller's bass player) Eva has
engaged professional and lighting technicians
for the show. The state-of-the-art CFHS
Performing Arts Center, which seats 750 people,
will allow Time Traveller and CFSO to provide
all the "power and spectacle of a rock concert."
</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,

reserved seats and all proceeds will benefit the
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre Capital Campaign

includes a private post-show reception at <a
