CVLT says goodbye to our dear friend, Mr. Steve
Shields...</font></h3>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">It is with profound regret that Chagrin Valley
Little Theatre reports the passing on October 27th of
our long time friend, Mr. Steve Shields. Steve has been
an extremely important partner and supporter of our
organization for several decades. Among other helpful
activities through the years, Steve has made his 56
River Street building available to CVLT to store and
work on our costumes, scenery, and props, as well as his
co-founding and gracious hosting our River Street
Playhouse stage. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">CVLT would not be what it is today without the
generous help of Mr. Shields, whose smiling face and
kindly hello have been as much a fixture of the theater
as the stage itself. His presence and kinship will be
greatly missed. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">A service will be held at Federated Church at
76 Bell Street in Chagrin Falls, Saturday November 5,
with visitation hours at Stroud-Lawrence Funeral Home on
Friday, November 4 from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Steve will
be laid to rest in Muncy, Pennsylvania (near
Williamsport). </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will be holding
its own memorial service to honor the life of this man
who helped our organization to grow and sustain in more
ways that we can number. Details of the memorial are
still being sorted, but it is tentatively scheduled for
11 AM on December 3. More details will appear on our
website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed as they are
settled.</font></p>

Planet</i>, Jody is an introvert who owns and

become practically agoraphobic, seldom leaving
his store.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">His far more outgoing
friend Carl comes and goes regularly, and is
Jody's connection to the outside world. He
brings tall tales about his various professions,
games, and entertainment. He also brings Jody a
taste of the outside world that he'd prefer not
to acknowledge.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2"> <i>Lonely Planet</i> is
an endearing, absurdly comical and poignant
friendship tale that examines two courses of
thought: should we hide ourselves away from the
world and its imperfections or should we immerse
ourselves and hopefully make a difference?</font></p>
