The 82nd Season is already full of exciting
developments...</font></h3>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">What a beginning! This year's <em><strong>Murder
by the Falls</strong></em> fundraiser event broke
attendance records, and our joint effort with The
Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra, <em><strong>Spotlight
on Broadway</strong></em>, introduced some needed
improvements in the Main Stage Auditorium sound system.
The <strong>updated speakers and microphones</strong>
were made possible through the generosity of Dr. and
Mrs. Stuart Sears of Bentleyville (Mrs. Roberta Sears is
a former member of the CVLT Board of Directors), and the
assistance of Bob White Associates.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">State Representative <strong>Marlene Anielski</strong>
visited CVLT on September 19 to attend a rehearsal of
the Theatre's Accent on Youth (AOY) initiative. Students
presented excerpts from a play they plan to present to
Chagrin Falls Intermediate School students. AOY,
sponsored by the Ridgecliff Foundation, offers plays on
social and relationship issues to six area school
systems using high school student actors to present
topics suggested by the schools.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">The Theatre's <strong>Annual Meeting</strong>
will be held Tuesday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the
River Room. One-half of the Board of Directors are up
for reelection and such other business matters as
brought up by attendees will be discussed. All donors
and CVLT Board and committee members are encouraged to
attend. Included will be a discussion of accomplishments
during the past year and plans for the year ahead.</font>
</p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Finally, on a sadder note, the Theatre learned
of the unexpected death of <strong>David E. Griffiths</strong>
in late September. Dave was a local attorney, a strong
civic leader, and a patron and friend of the Theatre.
His support of CVLT will be remembered.</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">Patrick Barlow's hilarious
comedy, The 39 Steps, is based on Alfred
Hitchcock's famous 1935 film more-so than John
Buchan's original 1915 spy novel. Where Buchan's
story is a gripping thriller, and the Hitchcock
film adds humor and romance, Barlow created a
spoof that uses just five actors with
lightning-fast costume changes to play heroes,
villains, men, women, children, and even the
occasional inanimate object. The Broadway
production was the longest running play of the
2000s decade.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">The story revolves around a
debonair gentleman-adventurer, Richard Hannay,
who discovers that a foreign enemy spy ring is
trying to smuggle scientific-military secrets
out of Britain. In classic derring-do style, he
sets out to stop them single-handedly while also
being chased by the police who, wrongly, of
course, suspect him of murder!</font></p>

ourselves and hopefully make a difference?</font></p>
