CVLT Presents "Sex with Strangers"
by John Daugherty via NEohioPAL 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Burgeoning Director Brings “Sex” to Chagrin Falls CHAGRIN FALLS, OHIO - On April 21, 2017, the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will present the play, /Sex with Strangers/, under the helm of director Kourtney Daugherty. Performances will run April 21 to May 6 on Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 8:00 p.m. There will also be a Sunday Matinee on April 30 at 2:00 p.m. The show will be performed at CVLT’s River Street Playhouse on 56 River St - west of the main CVLT building. The play, written by Laura Eason, a writer for the hit Netflix show, /House of Cards/ is focused on lust, love, and the complex nature of identity in the digital age. When twenty-something star sex blogger and memoirist Ethan tracks down his idol, the gifted but obscure forty-ish novelist Olivia, he finds they each crave what the other possesses. As attraction turns to sex, and they inch closer to getting what they want, both must confront the dark side of ambition and the trouble of reinventing oneself when the past is only a click away. Director Kourtney Daugherty, a valued regular performer, stage manager, and jack of all trades at CVLT, is stepping into new territory in this role. While she co-directed the 2016 /10-10 Festival/ and was the sole director of CVLT’s /Murder by the Falls/, this will be the first time she has been selected to do a regular production with the theater, currently in its 87th season. “While the show's title, /Sex with Strangers/, made me take notice, the content is what kept me interested,” Kourtney explains. “It's not just about watching two people engage in intimacy onstage. It's about what happens when their fantasies become reality. She adds, “the show takes the time to focus on what happens when these two people with mutual interests and obvious chemistry explore the possibility, even if just an illusion, of a real relationship, all while dealing with their own personal baggage and the exposure of one of their checkered pasts.” A newcomer to CVLT, Joe Kenderes will play Ethan. Joe most recently has been seen in Blank Canvas Theatre’s /39 Steps/ as Hannay and Medina Show Biz’s/...Spelling Bee /as Panch. He is also a founding member and performer for the Laughter League sketch comedy troupe. Christy Wright will play Olivia. She was last seen as Alex in/Kid Like Jake/ at Weathervane Playhouse and has graced the stages of Theater 8:15, Stow Players, CVLT, Western Reserve Playhouse, and Wolfcreek Players, among others. The producer for this production is Laurel Bryant, with Tom Boehringer as stage manager, and Marissa Gelender running the light and sound board Tickets for /Sex with Strangers/ are $12.00/each and can be purchased online at CVLT.org or by phone at 440-247-8955, 1-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. 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. ### -- John J. Daugherty Marketing/Publicity Chagrin Valley Little Theatre Box Office: (440) 247-8955 Cell: (330) 607-6245
