Sound of Music to be heard at CVLT this winter,
November 15 - December 15</h3>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">
<strong>Beloved Musical Returns to CVLT Stage After
30-Year Hiatus</strong></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">CHAGRIN
FALLS, OH — The hills are alive once again as Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre proudly presents the beloved
masterpiece THE SOUND OF MUSIC, opening November 15
and running through December 15, 2024 as part of
CVLT's 95th Season. The hit musical features music by
Richard Rogers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and
book by Howard Lindsay & Russell Crouse as
suggested by "The Trapp Family Singers" by Maria
Augusta Trapp. </p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Performances
on CVLT’s main stage will take place Fridays and
Saturdays at 7:30 PM with Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM
on Nov. 24, Dec. 1, 8, and 15. Tickets are available
$23 with a $4 discount for seniors, students, and
military. A special performance on December 1 will
support Friends of WomenSafe, sponsored by Junction
Auto Family, featuring complimentary concessions
provided by the organization.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Under
the direction of Mason Stewart, with musical direction
by Oliver Deak and choreography by Jordon Matthew,
this production features a talented cast of local
actors and on-stage musicians bringing to life the
play inspired by the true story of Maria Rainer and
the von Trapp family. Abby Longshore stars as the
spirited postulant Maria, alongside Cory Bryner as
Captain von Trapp and Adair Arko as Mother Abbess.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">This
enchanting show features familiar songs including
"Do-Re-Mi," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Ev'ry
Mountain," and "Edelweiss." Set against the backdrop
of pre-World War II Austria, the musical tells the
story of a high-spirited novice who brings music and
joy back to the von Trapp family while navigating her
own path between religious calling and romantic love.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">CVLT’s
production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC is its first in three
decades, and also marks the 75th anniversary of the
theatre’s building at 40 River Street. The production
takes a fresh approach to the familiar material. “This
production is focused on the emotions and
relationships at the core of the story,” says producer
Allie Morrison, “with bold choices that transcend the
traditional period setting and staging. We’re
presenting this timeless classic in an intimate way
that we hope will connect audiences with its messages
of love, courage and family like never before.”</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">The
production includes actors with an age range spanning
eight decades, and showcases two rotating casts of
talented young performers as the von Trapp children,
ensuring fresh energy and exceptional performances
throughout the run. The "Edelweiss Cast" performs
November 15, 22, 24, 30 and December 6, 8, 14, while
the "Do-Re-Mi Cast" takes the stage November 16, 23,
29 and December 1, 7, 13, 15.</p>
