<h3 style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000; font-size:10pt;"> Everyone's favorite family,
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, is on stage at Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre July 22 - Aug. 20 </h3>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">CHAGRIN FALLS, OH – If
you've ever been young and in love, you know how stressful
it is to introduce your eccentric family to your beloved's
spotless family. It can only get worse if you are a member
of the "creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky" Addams
Family. As the lyrics to the beloved TV theme song state,
"they're altogether ooky."</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">THE ADDAMS FAMILY
musical comedy will be staged by Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre for 13 performances on weekends July 22 - August
20. Performances are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2
p.m. on select Sundays (July 31, Aug. 7 and Aug. 14).</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">The plot has Wednesday
Addams, that ultimate princess of darkness, all grown up
and in love with a young man from a respectable, so-called
normal family. She confides this to her father, Gomez,
begging him to not tell her mother, Morticia, who would
be… well… mortified. But, Gomez has never been able to
keep a secret from his wife. Everything changes when the
family hosts a dinner for the boyfriend and his parents. </p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">Directed and
choreographed by Pamela LaForce, with musical direction by
Andy Novak, CVLT's rendition of this 2010 Broadway hit
offers lively summer fun. The script was written by
Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice with music and lyrics by
Tony-winning composer Andrew Lippa.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;"> "Fans of the 1960s TV
show and 1990s films will love this show," CVLT Technical
Director Edmond Wolff said. "It has all of the
culture-clash humor and oddball characters of those shows
plus musical numbers featuring our talented cast." </p>
