Karamu fouls off a few while swinging for the ‘Fences’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association Actor Denzel Washington, who won a Tony in 2010 for his portrayal of protagonist Troy Maxson in the Broadway revival of August Wilson’s Pulitzer-winning “Fences,” recently led a $5 million fundraising effort to restore the playwright’s childhood home, to be completed in 2020. While watching the current production of the play at Karamu, it is very easy to understand Wilson’s legacy and appreciate Washington’s passion for preserving where it began.

"The Mystery of Irma Vep", "The Velocity of Autumn" and Halloween for kids at CVLT
by Andrew Rothman 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

CHAGRIN VALLEY LITTLE THEATRE (440) 247-8955 www.CVLT.org 40 River St. Chagrin Falls OH October 2018 News & Events The Mystery of Irma Vep by CHARLES LUDLAM SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 14 Fridays & Saturdays SEP 28, 29, OCT 12, 13 at 8 PM Thursday OCT 11 at 8 PM Sundays SEP 30 & OCT 14 at 2 PM Tickets $19 ($4 senior/student discount) Actors Don Bernardo and Brian Diehl (who delighted CVLT audiences as 'King Arthur' and 'Patsy' in Spamalot as well as in our recent comedy Greater Tuna) play dozens of characters in this quick-witted, quick-change, vaudevillian spoof of Gothic thrillers. Playwright Charles Ludlam pulls out the stops with a show that includes Egyptian mummies, vampires, ghosts and werewolves set in a proper Victorian manor household, complete with a butler and housekeeper. The three-act play is a satirical mashup of theatrical, literary and film genres from Wuthering Heights and Hitchock’s Rebecca to the French serial Les Vampires. Directed by Robert McCoy The Velocity of Autumn by ERIC COBLE OCTOBER 12 - 27 Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM Sundays Oct. 21 at 2 PM Tickets $13 >From Cleveland-native playwright Eric Coble, The Velocity Of Autumn swirls around Alexandra (MARGO PARKER), an 80-year-old artist in a showdown with her family over where she’ll spend her remaining years. In Alexandra’s corner are her wit, her volcanic passion, and the fact that she’s barricaded herself in her Brooklyn brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the block. But her children have their own secret weapon: estranged son Chris (ADAM YOUNG), who returns after 20 years, crawls through Alexandra’s second-floor window and becomes the family’s unlikely mediator. No sooner are the words “Hi, Mom” uttered than the emotional bombs start detonating. The Velocity Of Autumn is a wickedly funny and wonderfully touching discovery of the fragility and ferocity of life. Directed by Katharine Tonti OCTOBER 27 & 28 at 2 PM Bring your little ones to Ghosts, Goblins & Gobbledygook, our annual Halloween event for young children! Tickets are just $8. Mousie the puppet and friends will tell stories, our Youth Theatre will present Halloween scenes, there will be a “Skeleton Dance,” and CVLT’s own Edmond Wolff will play the guitar and sing Halloween songs. Favorites like The Greedy Pumpkin and Wanda, the Good Witch will be there too! There will be a costume parade for kids on the stage (parents, bring your cameras!), Halloween treats for everyone, and prizes from the The Pocket Lady!
