On <b>SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3 at 11 AM,</b> Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre will be holding a memorial tribute to our long time friend,
<b>Stephen Fitzgerald Shields</b>, who we lost on October 27. Mr.
Shields was an extremely important partner and supporter of our
organization for several decades, not least of which by making his
56 River Street building available to us for the storage of our
costumes, scenery, and props, as well as his co-founding and
gracious hosting of our <a

stage.<br>
<br>
The tribute, which is open to all who knew Steve, will include
remarks from a variety of CVLT leaders past and present, including
Tom and Jo Ann Neff, June Forbes Woodman, Rollin DeVere, Kate Tonti,
Yvonne E. Pilarczyk, and Don Edelman. We will also hear remembrances
from Steve's friend Dr. Karl Haecker, as well as broadcaster Bette
Moss. Jan Jones and Pat Mazzarino will be MC and moderator for the
presentation, which will include an excerpt from this summer's The
Sunshine Boys featuring Frank Mularo and Don Edelman, and musical
honors from Holly Merholz, David Keith Stiver, and Regis Bookshar's
trumpet ensemble. The event is expected to last roughly an hour,
with a post-reception in the River Room.<br>
