PRESS RELEASE: Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has a recipe for laughter with DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER
by Chagrin Valley Little Theatre 02 May '24

02 May '24

*PRESS RELEASE* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 4/23/2023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 Website: www.CVLT.org <http://www.cvlt.org/> Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has a recipe for laughter with DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER *Subheading:* CVLT's staging of this hit French farce runs weekends May 31 - June 15 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 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. This two-act play was written by Camoletti as somewhat of a sequel to his smash 1960s hit comedy /Boeing Boeing/. 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. 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. 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. 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 BoxOffice(a)CVLT.org. 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. ### Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded through individual and corporate contributions. Our programming is made possible in part by the citizens of Cuyahoga Country through Cuyahoga County Arts and Culture and by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically.
