Theatre's latest "Murder" to be committed September 11
& 12</h3>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">CHAGRIN FALLS, OH -
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre kicks off its 86th
consecutive season with the 30th anniversary <em>Murder
by the Falls</em> event on the evenings of September 11
and 12, 2015. This audience-participation event marks the
official beginning of a packed calendar at CVLT which
includes four musicals, seven plays, and a variety of
special events over the next twelve months. Tickets for
the event are $65, half of which is tax-deductible as a
donation to CVLT. While ticket proceeds from the theater's
regular performances go largely toward the cost of
mounting the productions themselves, the money raised from
each year's <em>Murder by the Falls</em> is a vital part
of the theater's general operating and facilities budget.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;"> The format of the
event has remained roughly the same over the past three
decades as it has grown in popularity, often selling to
capacity. The evening begins with a pre-show hors d'oeuvre
reception featuring a wine and beer cash bar, followed by
Act I of an original comedy/mystery, in which the crime is
committed. During intermission, the audience teams prowl
North Franklin and Main Streets in Chagrin Falls Village
looking for clues hidden in the shop windows, and
interview live actors to gain additional info about the
suspects. A catered dessert follows, where audience teams
fill in answer sheets with their best guesses about who
committed the murder, why, and how. The evening completes
with the revealing of the killer's identity in Act II and
prizes being awarded.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">This year's production,
entitled "Is There A Doctor In The House?", is the sixth
original comedy penned for the event by sibling team Greta
and Andrew Rothman. A spoof of popular TV medical dramas,
the mystery takes place in the E.R. of the fictional
'Chagrin General County University Memorial Clinic
Hospital,' where the hospital's Director has been admitted
after a mysterious collapse. When the Director suddenly
dies under observation, everyone on his staff becomes a
suspect, from the first-day interns to the ambitious Chief
of Staff, and from the hotshot cardiologist to the
overworked nurses. The twenty-member cast parodies
favorites like "House", "Doogie Howser", and "Grey's
Anatomy" in a script loaded with gags and puns that are
sure to keep audiences in stitches as they try to sniff
out all the clues. This year's event features Cleveland TV
personality Jan Jones, as well as cameo appearances by
local notables including Chagrin Falls Chief of Police
James Brosius, South Russell Mayor Matthew Brett, Geauga
County Sherriff Dan McClelland, Chagrin Falls Mayor Tom
Brick, and WEWS-TV's Leon Bibb.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">The event is generously
sponsored by the Cleveland Clinic Family Health Center of
Chagrin Falls, along with support from Tom and JoAnn Neff,
the CVLT Women's Committee, Evans Printing, Chapman and
Chapman, Junction Auto Family, and Sedlak Interiors. Other
sponsors and donors include Casey and Signe Forbes,
Vintage Wine Distributors, Gamekeepers Taverne, Chuck's
Fine Wines, Hamlet Retirement Community, Jean and Gary
Hood, The Popcorn Shop, Chestnut Hill Homes by Jana Lutz
Interiors, Beck & Call Concierge Services, Dennis and
Nancy Schramm, Tom and Louise Brick, Mary Ann and Ed
Ponce, Susan and Tod White, Toni in Style, Sugar Me
Desserterie, Tan Gillespie, and Paris Room Bistro.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:

by the Falls: "Is There A Doctor In The House?"</em> are
$65 per person (50% tax-deductible) and are available by
phone at 440-247-8955, Monday through Saturday from 1-6
