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

laugh at CVLT with "Private Lives</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH - When Noël Coward's farce PRIVATE LIVES first
opened on the London stage in 1930, it was called
"devastatingly funny." The classic comedy remains as sharp
as ever when it opens on the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre
stage on January 17th for a four-weekend run. The savvy
comedy, which has been entertaining audiences as long as
CVLT itself, is a timely romance between people who can't
live without, or with, each other.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left"> PRIVATE
LIVES follows the saga of perpetually dueling lovers
Amanda (Mitra Jahangiri) and Elyot (James Rankin), two
divorcees who have unwittingly booked adjoining hotel
rooms while honeymooning with their new spouses, Victor
(Whit Lowell) and Sibyl (Sarah Katz). They soon realize
that they'd rather be back together and impulsively flee
to Paris, only to be caught days later by their jilted
spouses.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">The
original London production of PRIVATE LIVES starred Noël
Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, Adrianne Allen and Laurence
Olivier. A Broadway production followed in 1931. The play
has been revived several times on Broadway (including a
memorable 1983 production that starred Elizabeth Taylor
and Richard Burton), and has been produced in theaters
around the world. CVLT's production includes a number of
newcomers to the CVLT stage, and includes Erika Hansen,
David Gaines, Ellen Nicole Morales and Chirvata Balla Ram.
Director Fred Gloor, a theater instructor at Baldwin
Wallace and Cuyahoga Community College, is also new to
CVLT. </p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">PRIVATE
LIVES plays Friday and Saturday nights at 8 PM January
17th through February 8th. Tickets are $18 regular
admission, $14 student/senior. Tickets for PRIVATE LIVES
and all CVLT productions can be purchased online at
CVLT.org or by phone at 440-247-8955 between 1-6 PM,
Monday through Saturday. Chagrin 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>
