brings an early springtime to CVLT - 12/29/11</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:

FALLS, OH - <em>Enchanted April,</em> Matthew Barber's
Tony-award winning stage adaptation of Elizabeth Von
Arnim's 1922 novel, will be the first production of 2012
at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre. It opens in January
under the direction of Brendan Sandham. The play is based
on the same book which spawned the 1992 film (nominated
for several Golden Globe and Academy Awards) and the 2010
musical stage version.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left"> Beginning
in 1920s England, <em>Enchanted April</em> tells the tale
Lotty Wilson (Dawn Hill), the young wife of a prominent
British solicitor, who settles upon an April getaway to a
secluded castle in Milan to relieve her boredom with rainy
London (and with her husband - played by Don Knepper). She
invites along her new friend from the Ladies Club, the
quiet and thoughtful Rose Arnott (Caitlin Van Niel). Rose
is feeling left behind by her own husband (Joe Pine), and
joins bubbly Lotty for a change of scenery. Needing money
to cover the rental fee of the Italian castle, Lotty
manages to convince two unlikely strangers to go along -
the free-spirited young socialite Lady Caroline (Evie
Koh), and an overbearing widow named Mrs. Graves (Anna
Davis). Upon reaching Milan, the unlikely companions also
meet the castle's owner (Matt Mortensen) and cook (Pamela
Ruiz), who soon become part of their lives. While falling
in love with the Mediterranean countryside, they each
learn something surprising about hope, love, and
themselves. It's an uplifting romantic comedy that's
perfect for warming the heart in the middle of a blustery
Cleveland winter!</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:

April</em> plays on CVLT's main stage Friday and
