January with the Katherine DiSavino comedy THINGS
MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME. Olivia (Natalie Dolezal) and
Gabe (Adam Donnelly) are starting their new life
together and are moving into their own apartment
in Chicago.</p>

font-size:12px; line-height:150%"> They've just
packed up all of their belongings and driven
halfway across the country, but their moving day
becomes a little "crowded" when both sets of
parents (Rose Gabriele, Mark Moore, Sue Cohen, and
James Barron) and their superintendent (Mim
Goloboff) decide to show up to help! </p>
<p style="text-align:left; font-family: Arial,

font-size:12px; line-height:150%">With cleaning
products and bottles of honey vodka in hand, they
all offer Gabe and Olivia their own advice on life
and how things should really be done. Can a two
bedroom apartment contain all of the love, laughs,
worry and wisdom that's about to happen?</p>

life with songs and memories. We invite anyone who
knew and loved him to send their fond memories,

possible inclusion in the event. A light reception
will follow.</p>

appeared on our stage in 1972 and has since
appeared in over 250 musicals around the country.
His big voice and big personality came through as
he sang at hundreds of concerts, weddings and
other events throughout the area. He appeared on
the stage Off -Broadway, in Las Vegas and in
fourteen different productions of <em>Guys &
Dolls</em>, including a tour with Nathan Lane.
He also appeared in three producitions of <em>Chicago</em>,
and three productions of <em>Evita</em>.</p>

performed on every major stage in Cleveland, he
always called CVLT his home, and was a regular
star of our New Year's Eve cabarets, Murder By The
Falls events, and served as promoter for CVLT and
for the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival. He
assisted with publicity for a variety of other
Cleveland-area venues, and was listed with The

many ways.</p>
