Little Theatre is ready to warm up your heart in
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>
<p style="text-align:left; font-family: Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000;
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,
Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000;
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>

capturing the story of a young, ambitious, and
perhaps rebellious musician searching for identity
and truth within classical structures of culture
and society. The documentary has screened at 14
film festivals and received numerous accolades,
including "Best Documentary Short" at the Chagrin
Documentary Film Festival. Nathan will on hand for
the concert and is looking forward to being back
with his friends in Chagrin.</p>
