Valley Little Theatre has a recipe for laughter with
DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER</h3>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">
<strong>Subheading:</strong> CVLT's staging of this
hit French farce runs weekends May 31 - June 15</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">
CHAGRIN FALLS, OH — Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is
cooking up the perfect recipe for farce with DON’T
DRESS FOR DINNER, written by French playwright Marc
Camoletti and adapted by Robin Hawdon. The production
runs May 31 – June 15, 2024 with performances Fridays
& Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays June 2 & 9
at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $21 with a $4 discount for
seniors and military. CVLT.org or (440) 247-8955</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Director
Christopher Bizub’s deliciously funny dish calls for
one philandering husband (Joe Kenderes), his mistress
(Katie Wells), and one Cordon Bleu chef (Mia
Radabaugh) hired for their secret weekend getaway to a
countryside chateau. His best friend (Vince
Stillitano) is in the mix as their facilitator and
alibi. Things get spicy when adding a dash of his wife
(Jaimee Moore) and the mistress’s husband (Barry
Moses). Blend with some classic mistaken identities
and hilarious mishaps, then stir with a slapstick and
turn up the heat! The result is a wild comedy that’ll
satisfy your appetite for laughs.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">
This two-act play was written by Camoletti as somewhat
of a sequel to his smash 1960s hit comedy <em>Boeing
Boeing</em>. Hawdon’s English version, adapted from
the original with his own changes and additions, was a
long-running smash in Paris and London in the 1990s.
It was followed by a Tony Award nominated revival on
Broadway in 2012, not to mention Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre’s own 2011 production that received rave
reviews from audiences and critics alike.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">The
production team for CVLT’s presentation includes stage
manager Brittany Bizub, producers Cindee Catalano and
Mason Stewart, costumer Kelsey Tomlinson, scenic and
lighting director Tom West, prop mistress Nancy
Rogoff, and lighting operator T.J. Hayes. The play is
presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">The
theatre has partnered with restaurant 17 River Grille,
located across the street, for a special "Don't Stress
for Dinner" arrangement. Arrive in Chagrin early to
get more convenient parking as well as special offers
on your pre-show meal. Due to limited parking and the
major bridge reconstruction project in Chagrin Falls,
ticket pre-purchases and early arrival are highly
recommended.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Tickets
for DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER are available 24/7 at the
CVLT.org website. For ticket inquiries and
reservations, please contact the Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre Box Office at (440) 247-8955 or via email at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:BoxOffice@CVLT.org">BoxOffice@CVLT.org</a>. Phone sales are available from 1-6
PM, Tuesday through Friday, with the box office
opening two hours before all performances. CVLT is
located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin Falls
Village.</p>
