story "The Last Romance" warms hearts at CVLT</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH - Joe DiPietro is known for touching moments. As
the author behind the hit musical <em>I Love You, You're
Perfect, Now Change</em>, and co-writer of the
Tony-winning <em>Memphis</em>, he knows a thing or two
about putting relationships on stage in a way that tugs
the heartstrings. Such is the case with DiPietro's THE
LAST ROMANCE, which opens on Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre's intimate River Street Playhouse stage on April
25 under the direction of Cindee Catalano.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">THE LAST
ROMANCE is the story of Ralph (CVLT vet Don Edelman), an
widower in his senior years who spots the slightly younger
Carol (Mary Jane Nottage) walking her chihuahua (played by
'Diesel') at the local dog park. Impressed with the
elegant and distant woman, Ralph decides to take a chance
on love one more time by pursuing her. His lonely sister
and caretaker, Rose (Margo Parker), does not approve.
Carol isn't particularly interested in Ralph at first, but
they soon bond as Ralph tells her about his missed chance
to sing for the Metropolitan Opera (with vocalist Andrew
Kondik appearing as young Ralph), and Carol tells him of
her husband, disabled by a stroke. And yet, there are
secrets to be revealed about both of them… will their
relationship blossom? THE LAST ROMANCE is heartwarming
comedy about life, loss, and the transformative power of
love.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">THE LAST
