                CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio — For over a decade, Chagrin Valley
                Little Theatre has brought one-acts by playwrights from
                around the world to its smaller River Street Playhouse
                stage for the biennial <i>10-10 Festival</i>. In 2018,
                the organization launched a "Young Playwrights" edition
                to alternate summers with its older sibling, presenting
                plays penned by kids of all ages.<br>
              </p>
              <p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">The
                Theatre's committee is now in the play-reading phase of
                preparation for the second run of this event and is
                considering original 10-minute scripts by playwrights
                ages 18 and under. <b>Because of the number of young people who will now be off of school over the coming weeks and may be looking for something to do with their time, CVLT has extended the deadline to April 1, 2020.</b><br>
              </p>
              <p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">The
                selected plays, which may cover any topic and feature
                actors of all ages, will be staged in July/August as the
                closing production of CVLT's 90th Season. The 2018
                edition featured scripts by talented kids from Cleveland
                and surrounding suburbs, as well as submissions by
                students in Utah and California. The works included
                fairytales, wild comedies, family drama, and scenes of
                burgeoning love.<br>

              <p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">For
