<h2 style="font-size:12pt; font-weight: bold; font-family:
sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase">CVLT's "Mrs.
Mannerly" is a comedy about etiquette and growing up</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH - Quick! What is the proper placement of a
dessert fork when setting a table? Not sure? Mrs. Mannerly
will certainly mark points off of your grade, for she is
the eponymous teacher in Jeffrey Hatcher's poignant comedy
MRS. MANNERLY, which opens on Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre's River Street Playhouse stage for a three-weekend
run starting May 3.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">Hatcher's
madcap tale is related through the memories of Jeffrey
(Mark DePompei), Mrs. Mannerly's newest student. While
Mrs. Mannerly (Rebecca Knab) has tutored countless
students in poise, grace, the polka, and silverware
configuration for thirty-six years, no one has ever
managed to get a perfect score on the final exam.
Ten-year-old Jeffrey, determined to be the first, will do
just about anything to make it happen, including using his
teacher's secret past to his advantage. In the process, he
learns what it means to grow up and how friends can be
found in the most surprising of places. </p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">MRS.
MANNERLY is directed by Steve Kay and runs Friday and
Saturday evenings at 8 PM in CVLT's River Street
Playhouse. The River Street is CVLT's smaller venue just
across the parking lot from the main theater building and
is often home to more quirky and unusual fare than the
262-seat main auditorium. The play includes themes and
language unsuitable for children.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">Tickets to
all River Street Playhouse productions are $10, and can be
purchased in advance at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's
website - <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.CVLT.org">www.CVLT.org</a>, or by phone at 440-247-8955
between 1-6 PM, Monday through Saturday. Tickets are also
available at the door. (Oh, and in case you were
wondering, the dessert fork goes horizontally above the
plate, tines pointing right!)</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:

Valley Little Theatre is located at 40 River Street in
historic Chagrin Falls Village. CVLT is generously funded
by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and
Culture and supported by the Ohio Arts Council.</p>
