PRESS RELEASE: CVLT's biennial 10-10 Festival of one-acts returns with fresh works at River Street Playhouse
by Chagrin Valley Little Theatre via NEohioPAL 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

*PRESS RELEASE* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 6/10/15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact: Andrew Rothman From: Chagrin Valley Little Theatre 40 River Street Chagrin Falls, OH 44122 Phone: 440-247-8955 E-mail: cvlt(a)cvlt.org <mailto:cvlt@cvlt.org> Website: www.cvlt.org <http://www.cvlt.org/> High-resolution press photos are available for download at www.CVLT.org/promo <http://www.CVLT.org/promo> Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's biennial 10-10 Festival of one-acts returns with fresh works at River Street Playhouse CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - If you love live theater but your mate balks at sitting through an entire play, the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has the solution with an evening of 10 different, 10-minute plays. CVLT's biennial 10-10 Festival opens July 24 for eight performances 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Aug. 15. Directed by Yvonne E. Pilarczyk and Kourtney Daugherty, each of the ten one-act plays is an Ohio premiere, and some are world-premiere stagings. CVLT began the biennial 10-10 Festival in 2009, putting out the call for short plays to be performed at its River Street Playhouse, the smaller venue at 56 River Street, adjacent to the main theater building. "The first festival was a resounding success, receiving submissions from all over Northeast Ohio and beyond," Pilarczyk said. "The second and third editions were equally a hit." The 2015 edition received over 700 scripts from playwrights across the US, Canada, the UK, Israel, India, New Zealand and Australia, which the selection committee whittled down to a lineup of nine comedies and one darker mysterious tale. Romance is in the air; from a woman who tries an online dating service in 'HOW VIOLET MET WATSON' by Susan Goodell, to two women who meet and compare notes while waiting for their blind dates to arrive in DOUBLE WHAMMY' by Liz Amberly. A husband and wife battling over their divorce settlement instead end up reconnecting in '30 LOVE' by Terry McFadden. Taking comedy on a scenic route, there's the notion of a romantic getaway in a cabin in the snowy woods until company comes in 'WARMING UP' by Andrea Fleck Clardy (Massachusetts), or a majestic oceanfront dream home (or nightmare) in 'WATER VIEW' by Ray Arsenault. Marilyn Millstone's 'COMPOS MENTIS' portrays a couple interviewing for a coveted spot at a senior living community. They're ready for the change, but is the community ready for them? In 'LAST WORDS,' by Philip J. Kaplan, siblings at a funeral reveal too much family business. Brett Hursey's 'THE STAND-IN' tells the story of the biggest audition of a woman's life. Does she have what it takes? Seth Freeman's 'THE HIGH ROAD' is the story of a half-empty kind of guy setting out to prove to his wife that he can be a half-full guy. In a departure from the comedic mood, Aoise Stratford's 'OUR LADY OF THE SEA' offers three stories of loss and love woven into a mysterious and eerie tale. "The 10-10 Festival gives new playwrights an opportunity to see their works performed on stage, and it gives us an opportunity to present fresh, never before seen, plays to our audience." Daugherty said. Actors portraying the various roles include: Steve Kay, Brenda Willis, Amanda Karas, Andrew Beah, Dawn Hill, Brandi Eaton, Christy Wright, Dean Boland, Kathy Lamping, Don Edelman, Bobby Thomas and Catherine Remick. Show times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights at 56 River Street, west of the main CVLT building. All seats are $12. Call the Box Office Monday through Saturday 1-6 p.m. at 440-247-8955 or visit the website at www.CVLT.org. Due to the concurrent run of the summer musical BARNUM on CVLT's main stage, audiences are encouraged to arrive early with time for parking. CVLT is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and supported by the Ohio Arts Council. CVLT is a proud member of the American Association of Community Theatre. // ###
