<h2 style="font-size:12pt; font-weight: bold; font-family:
sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase">CVLT to present the
heartwarming comedy "The Curious Savage"</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH - John Patrick's heartwarming comedy THE CURIOUS
SAVAGE opened in 1950 on Broadway with Lillian Gish in the
title role. Less than a year after the Broadway debut,
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre staged the play on its River
Street Playhouse stage. Now, after a sixty-four year
absence, this family-friendly story returns to the CVLT
stage under the direction of Laurel Bryant. </p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">THE
CURIOUS SAVAGE follows the misadventures of Mrs. Ethel P.
Savage (Priscilla Kaczuk). The charitable widow has been
left $10,000,000 dollars by her late husband, and has
established a fund to help others make their hopes and
dreams come true. However, her greedy adult stepchildren
Titus (Bobby Thomas), Lily Belle (Erika Hansen), and
Samuel (Craig Gifford), want the money for themselves.
Hoping to bring Mrs. Savage to her senses, the children
commit her to The Cloisters, a "sanatorium." There she
meets a variety of social misfits who need the kind of
help Mrs. Savage can provide. There's the motherly
Florence (Sue Cohen), the child-like pathological liar
Fairy May (Laura Hart), the shy former military pilot
Jeffrey (Chris DiMichele), the aspiring but terrible
violinist Hannibal (Mark DePompei) and the cantankerous
seascape painter, Mrs. Paddy (Lisa Tarr). Managing this
zany crew are Dr. Emmett (David Gaines) and
nurse/administrator Miss Wilhelmina (Talia Valline). With
the help of her new friends, Mrs. Savage conspires to rid
herself of the self-seeking stepchildren, leading them on
a merry chase and raising the ultimate question of just
who the sane people are. </p>
