<h2 style="font-size:12pt; font-weight: bold; font-family:

conspiracy theories on tap at CVLT - 2/2/12</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH - YANKEE TAVERN by Steven Dietz, a taut comic
thriller from one of America's leading contemporary
playwrights, will have you on the edge of your seat
beginning on February 10th at CVLT's River Street
Playhouse under the direction of Don Edelman.
</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">Adam
(Christopher DiMichele) is a young grad student on the
fast track toward marriage and a career in the CIA. He's
filling in for his late father behind the bar at the
Yankee Tavern, an old gin joint in lower Manhattan
scheduled for demolition. Adam has also inherited his
dad's friend Ray (Bob Fortlage), a possibly schizophrenic
conspiracy theorist who rattles on about everything from
Starbucks and the moon landing to Yoko Ono and the Bay of
Pigs. Ray even talks to dead people in the abandoned hotel
upstairs where he crashes.
</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">All seems
under control until Palmer (Don Bernardo) arrives, a
mysterious stranger who seems to know far too much about
the 9/11 attacks. Suddenly, Ray's ranting does not seem
nearly so far off base. And when the wedding invitations
to his half of the guest list start coming back as
undeliverable, Adam's fiancée Janet (Amy Pelleg) begins to
suspect a mystery even closer to home. Will monumental
secrets be brought to light before the walls come down on
the Yankee Tavern or will they be buried with the bar?
</p>
