PRESS RELEASE: Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's latest "Murder" to be committed September 11 & 12
by Chagrin Valley Little Theatre via NEohioPAL 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

*PRESS RELEASE* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 8/13/15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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/> Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's latest "Murder" to be committed September 11 & 12 CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre kicks off its 86th consecutive season with the 30th anniversary /Murder by the Falls/ event on the evenings of September 11 and 12, 2015. This audience-participation event marks the official beginning of a packed calendar at CVLT which includes four musicals, seven plays, and a variety of special events over the next twelve months. Tickets for the event are $65, half of which is tax-deductible as a donation to CVLT. While ticket proceeds from the theater's regular performances go largely toward the cost of mounting the productions themselves, the money raised from each year's /Murder by the Falls/ is a vital part of the theater's general operating and facilities budget. The format of the event has remained roughly the same over the past three decades as it has grown in popularity, often selling to capacity. The evening begins with a pre-show hors d'oeuvre reception featuring a wine and beer cash bar, followed by Act I of an original comedy/mystery, in which the crime is committed. During intermission, the audience teams prowl North Franklin and Main Streets in Chagrin Falls Village looking for clues hidden in the shop windows, and interview live actors to gain additional info about the suspects. A catered dessert follows, where audience teams fill in answer sheets with their best guesses about who committed the murder, why, and how. The evening completes with the revealing of the killer's identity in Act II and prizes being awarded. This year's production, entitled "Is There A Doctor In The House?", is the sixth original comedy penned for the event by sibling team Greta and Andrew Rothman. A spoof of popular TV medical dramas, the mystery takes place in the E.R. of the fictional 'Chagrin General County University Memorial Clinic Hospital,' where the hospital's Director has been admitted after a mysterious collapse. When the Director suddenly dies under observation, everyone on his staff becomes a suspect, from the first-day interns to the ambitious Chief of Staff, and from the hotshot cardiologist to the overworked nurses. The twenty-member cast parodies favorites like "House", "Doogie Howser", and "Grey's Anatomy" in a script loaded with gags and puns that are sure to keep audiences in stitches as they try to sniff out all the clues. This year's event features Cleveland TV personality Jan Jones, as well as cameo appearances by local notables including Chagrin Falls Chief of Police James Brosius, South Russell Mayor Matthew Brett, Geauga County Sherriff Dan McClelland, Chagrin Falls Mayor Tom Brick, and WEWS-TV's Leon Bibb. The event is generously sponsored by the Cleveland Clinic Family Health Center of Chagrin Falls, along with support from Tom and JoAnn Neff, the CVLT Women's Committee, Evans Printing, Chapman and Chapman, Junction Auto Family, and Sedlak Interiors. Other sponsors and donors include Casey and Signe Forbes, Vintage Wine Distributors, Gamekeepers Taverne, Chuck's Fine Wines, Hamlet Retirement Community, Jean and Gary Hood, The Popcorn Shop, Chestnut Hill Homes by Jana Lutz Interiors, Beck & Call Concierge Services, Dennis and Nancy Schramm, Tom and Louise Brick, Mary Ann and Ed Ponce, Susan and Tod White, Toni in Style, Sugar Me Desserterie, Tan Gillespie, and Paris Room Bistro. Tickets for/Murder by the Falls: "Is There A Doctor In The House?"/ are $65 per person (50% tax-deductible) and are available by phone at 440-247-8955, Monday through Saturday from 1-6 PM. Audiences for /Murder by the Falls/ are grouped into teams of eight 'detectives,' and are therefore encouraged to reserve for their entire party at once if possible. Complete details on CVLT's 86th Season and subscription packages are available online at www.CVLT.org. The theater is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin Falls Village, and is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and supported by the Ohio Arts Council and Cleveland Foundation.

Auditions this Saturday at CPT! The Loush Sisters Love Dick’ns: Great Expectations
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Cleveland Public Theatre announces Auditions for The Loush Sisters Love Dick’ns: Great Expectations Created by Liz Conway, Michael Seevers, Jr. & Beth Wood Directed by Beth Wood Looking to cast… 2 – 3 funny women (over the age of 18) who can sing/carry a tune, move/shake your maracas, and don’t take themselves too seriously, to join the dysfunctional Loush Sisters. Specific characters will be created based on the actors cast. About the play… Holly and Jolly Loush (aka The Loush Sisters) return to the stage for a bawdy, boozy holiday cabaret. Fueled by song, sidekicks and a hefty dose of “holiday cheer,” the Loush Sisters reinterpret A CHRISTMAS CAROL as you’ve never, ever seen it before. World Premiere. About The Loush Sisters… Originally created in 2003 for a Cleveland Public Theatre special event, The Loush Sisters have become a favorite of CPT audiences, performing in 2011 at Playhouse Square’s 14th Street Theatre and in 2013 at CPT with The Loush Sisters DO the Nutcracker to critical acclaim. The brain children of Liz Conway, Michael Seevers, Jr. and Beth Wood, The Sisters are an unapologetically raunchy, lounge-singing duo. (Imagine Saturday Night Live’s Sweeney Sisters (1980’s) but raunchier & more inappropriate.) About the process… There may be a workshop period to develop material from September 16th – October 21st. There may be 1 – 2 rehearsals a week during this period for some cast members. Full rehearsals will begin October 26th with 5 – 6 rehearsals a week. Performances are November 27th through December 19th; Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in CPT’s Gordon Square Theatre. Auditions… Saturday 8/15: 1p-3p Auditions are by appointment only and will be conducted in a group setting. Auditioners must attend the full session. What to prepare… § 1-2 minute contemporary comedic monologue § 16 bars of a POP song; bring sheet music in your key (a cappella and CD accompaniment are acceptable) § Be ready to improvise as a member of the Loush Family § Dress appropriately for shimmy-ing and movement § Bring your sense of humor and be prepared to play and have fun! To schedule an audition appointment, please email New Play Associate, Caitlin Lewins at clewins(a)cptonline.org<mailto:clewins@cptonline.org>. Be sure to include your name, email address, phone number and preferred audition date & time in your email. No phone calls please.
