font-size:10pt">CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - In this uncertain time
of the COVID-19 outbreak, Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is
following state health recommendations and has suspended
scheduled performances through the end of April and
beyond. The musical PIPPIN, which was set to run March 20
– April 11, has been rescheduled for 8 p.m. Fridays and
Saturdays May 29 - June 20 and 2 p.m. Sunday June 7 and
14. Ticket holders' seats were automatically moved to a
corresponding weekend in the new performance run. Patrons
with questions can contact the Box Office 1-6 p.m. Monday
through Saturday at 440-247-8955 and staff members will do
their best to accommodate everyone’s changing schedule. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;font-family: arial, sans-serif;
font-size:10pt">
CVLT is working to reschedule the production of the comedy
WOMEN IN JEOPARDY! and the musical NEWSIES. Patrons need
not call on those. Details will be announced when they are
confirmed and when the order to isolate and social
distance to avoid a rapid spread of the virus is lifted.
In the meantime, the staff is taking appropriate steps to
clean and sanitize the Main Stage building, offices, and
the River Street Playhouse. </p>

“We deeply care about our patrons, staff, volunteers,
performers and crew, and regret that we have to suspend
performances,” said Julia Wolff, CVLT President. “Theater
people are a hearty lot who are passionate about our
craft. Normally, we would say ‘The show must go on,’ but
during this time of a serious pandemic, we recognize that
we must do our part to ensure the health and safety of our
community. Let us all take care of each other during this
difficult time.” </p>
