<h2 style="font-size:12pt; font-weight: bold; font-family:
sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase">CVLT's 82nd Season
ends with heartwarming comedy "Belles" - 7/26/12</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:

FALLS, OH - Playwright Mark Dunn would like to introduce
you to the Walker sisters of Tennessee in his comedy, <em>BELLES</em>.
Since the death of their father, they have spread out
across the USA and now reside in Memphis, TN.;
Philadelphia, PA; Atlanta, GA; Collierstown, MS; Elk Run,
WA.; and Austin, TX. Over the course of one weekend, the
six of them make dozens of phone calls to each other,
which audiences will be invited to listen in on when <em>BELLES</em>
opens at CVLT's River Street Playhouse on August 10 for a
three-weekend run.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">Peggy, the
eldest sister (Yvonne E. Pilarczyk), has become their
mother's caretaker, and she calls each of her sisters to
inform them that Mama's been hospitalized after eating
some bad tuna. Aneece (Denise Larkin), the antisocial
banker in Philadelphia, struggles with building and
maintaining relationships with Mama and her other sisters.
Audrey (Jenny Barrett) is a fledgling ventriloquist whose
life takes a turn for the worse when her dummy goes
missing. Roseanne (Claudia Lillibridge), a minister's wife
and mother of two, finds herself in the midst of a
crumbling marriage. Then there's the sister whose name
keeps changing: Sherry "Dust" Walker (Sarah Doody), the
New Age yoga and tofu-eating nut job. Lastly, there's
Paige (Macey Staninger), the baby of the family, who is a
graduate student studying Chaucer with her eyes on "Mr.
Perfection." Their phone calls lead to comedic and often
brutal confrontations about the past and present.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left"><em>BELLES
</em>plays on CVLT's River Street Playhouse stage at 56
