VISITING MR. GREEN to play CVLT's second stage</span></strong></h3>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;"> CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio -
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's 65-seat River Street
Playhouse stage is perfect for intimate stagings with
smaller casts. While CVLT's main 262-seat theatre stages
the colorful Lloyd Webber musical "Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor™ Dreamcoat" (Nov 18 - Dec 18), the cosier
space next door will present Jeff Baron's more
introspective VISITING MR. GREEN. The play opens under the
direction of Carol Jaffee Pribble on November 25 for a
three-weekend run, with performances at 8 PM on Friday and
Saturday nights through December 10, and matinee on
Sunday, December 4 at 2 PM. Tickets are $12, general
admission.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">VISITING MR. GREEN
stars veteran actor Don Edelman as Mr. Green, an elderly,
grumpy, devoutly Jewish widower who wanders into New York
City traffic, nearly being hit by the car of 29-year-old
finance executive Ross Gardiner (played by Krystopher
Perry). As a community service sentence, Gardiner is
ordered to assist Mr. Green, visiting him weekly. What
starts as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in
the same room together becomes a gripping, moving drama as
they get to know each other, opening old wounds they've
been hiding and nursing for years.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">MR. GREEN is Baron's
best-known play, earning numerous awards around the world,
including the KulturPreis Europa, of which Baron was the
first playwright and the first American recipient. It was
a Best New Play nominee for the Moliere Award in France,
and was nominated for both the A.C.E. and the Clarin
Awards in Argentina for Best Play. The playwright was
invited to present a reading of the work at the United
Nations in 1999, and the script has been translated into
22 languages, with 500 productions in 46 countries.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">"Families are the same
everywhere," explains Baron. "Everyone knows someone like
Mr. Green and everyone knows someone like Ross. Their
specific characteristics make the story interesting, but
their human-ness and the struggles they're each going
through, make the play personal for almost everyone." The
play touches on several universal themes, including aging,
religion, and marriage.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;">Tickets to VISTING MR.
GREEN are $12, available by phone at 440-247-8955 or
online at CVLT.org. The River Street Playhouse is located
at 56 River Street, just west of the main CVLT building in
downtown Chagrin Falls. Seating and parking are limited,
and early reservations and arrival are recommended.</p>
