It's Time for Action! Lets Stop Sexual Harassment By Talking About It! Join the Cause!
by Mama Bear 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Fellow Concerned Citizens of Northeast Ohio! Mama Bear Here,First let me say, Thank you to all of the people who reached out to me regarding my call to stop sexual harassment in our theatre community. Each of your stories touched me and have inspired me to take action. I did get a few emails stating how cowardly and shameful it is for me to be speaking out about this, mostly men. But they will not silence me! No one will silence me!I think we need a forum to share our stories and to warn each other of the predators and creeps in this community. That is why I am starting an email blast for everyone who strives to protect our children and ourselves. Each month I will share the stories I am told, some with names and some not. I will also compile a master list of the theatres where action has not been taken to protect us. I want the word to get out!However this sensitive information will only be shared with those who want it. If you want to be a part of this feel free to send me an email saying so, and if you would like to share your story for our first issue, just send me an email with as little or as much details as you want. This is to keep us safe and expose those who make this community a vile and despicable place. Stopping the creeps and the offenders is essential to making this a protected place for not only my daughter but everyone! Email me to join the cause! You're not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth, and raging courage. Mama BearTheatremom2006(a)yahoo.com

Stream CVLT's "The Dixie Swim Club" next weekend only!
by Andrew Rothman 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

Relive the laughter of CVLT's 2010 smash hit comedy *The Dixie Swim Club* *by** Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten* Streaming online for one weekend only! *September 25, 26 and 27* *Pay what you wish. Watch when you want.* Reserve Now! <https://cvlt.org/events/dixieswimclub?utm_source=ArtsPeople&utm_medium=emai…> Visit CVLT.org/events/dixieswimclub <https://cvlt.org/events/dixieswimclub?utm_source=ArtsPeople&utm_medium=emai…> to purchase your admission (PayPal or Credit Card) at whatever price you choose.* Then return to the site with the supplied password at any time from 12:01 AM on Fri. 9/25 to midnight on Sun. 9/27 to view our archival video of this outstanding show from our 80th Season. * $10 minimum is suggested. Greater amounts are highly encouraged. Your ticket purchase will help CVLT meet financial obligations until in-person productions can be safely resumed. We thank you for sustaining the theatrical arts in the Chagrin Valley! *About the Play* *The Dixie Swim Club* is a heartwarming comedy about the power of friendship. Five Southern women who met on their college swim team reunite at the same beach cottage every summer to recharge their friendships. Free from their husbands, children, and jobs, the ladies catch up, laugh, swig martinis, and meddle in each other’s lives. *The Dixie Swim Club* focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years, during which life flings challenges at them, throws wrenches into their plans, and helps them prove the enduring power of 'teamwork'. The play has been compared to *Steel Magnolias* and *The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants* for its healthy mix of witty jabs and touching moments. *"Veteran director Barbara L. Rhoades has wisely assembled a uniformly marvelous cast that brings these five characters to life and makes them interesting and inviting. Each actress takes risks that pay huge dividends."* *Bob Abelman, News-Herald (6/11/10)* CVLT's 2010 production featured a remarkable ensemble of women. Sheree (Jackie Cassara), is the spunky team captain, who desperately tries to maintain her organized and ‘perfect’ life. Overachieving Dinah (Chris White) is the wise-cracking career dynamo whose victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her personal life. Lexie (Denise Larkin) is the pampered and outspoken one, determined to hold on to her youth through various marriages. Self-deprecating and acerbic, Vernadette (Kate Tonti) is acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, and has decided to just give in and embrace the chaos. And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal (Jenny Barrett) experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise. "When I read *The Dixie Swim Club* I thoroughly enjoyed it. It offered everything I love in a great show," says director Barbara L. Rhoades. "This play is a combination of every emotion we can experience: laughter, love, anger, forgiveness, sadness and more. The actors in *Dixie Swim* became a family of friends right from the auditions through to opening night. Rehearsals were a joyful experience for everyone and these wonderful women worked hard to make every emotion real and honest." "From the time we met at the first read-through, the bond and chemistry were instantaneous," recalls Chris White. "We *were* The Dixie Swim Club!" Co-star Jenny Barrett, who made her acting debut in this play, took leading roles in several subsequent CVLT comedies but still considers the *Dixie Swim* cast among the most talented she's worked with. Join us on September 25, 26, or 27 at any time you like, for any price you choose, to help sustain CVLT beyond 'social distancing' and to re-live this "lightning in a bottle" comedy from our 80th Season. Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is located at 40 River St. in Chagrin Falls and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded through individual and corporate contributions along with a grant from the Ohio Arts Council and by the citizens of Cuyahoga Country through Cuyahoga County Arts and Culture.
