CVLT's River Street Playhouse is GOING PLACES this summer with a trio of short plays (June 29 – July 14)

Who knew traveling was so much fun? Because good things come in threes, Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is staging a trio of short plays under the title GOING PLACES. Performances will be on weekends June 29 through July 14 at the River Street Playhouse, CVLT's intimate second stage.

Travelers seeking direction in life are the common thread coursing through the three theatrical works, according to the production's director Kate Williams-Bernardo. And, just like those summer road trips, the plays are a family affair for the Bernardos, with Kate’s husband Don Bernardo and sons Luc and Victor Bernardo cast in starring roles. The cast also includes Mark Moore, Barbara Howitt, Theresa Dean, Rebecca Semancik, and Michela Palma.

The plays include OH, THE HUMANITY by Will Eno, RELATIVE STRANGERS by Sheri Wilner, and SONATA FOR ARMADILLOS by Jon Tuttle.

In OH, THE HUMANITY, two people seek meaning and direction in life and are looking for a shred of certainty and consistency. Then, a stranger arrives, but he doesn’t do what strangers always do when they arrive.

With poker-faced humor, RELATIVE STRANGERS centers on a young airline passenger who decides that the woman seated next to her might be the mother she never had. She finds an ally in a wacky stewardess who, unlike the reluctant mother figure, believes that the two passengers are a match made in heaven.

In the comedy/drama SONATA FOR ARMADILLOS, three passengers are stuck on a hot Dallas-bound Greyhound bus. One wants to be a cowboy, one is on the run, and the other is heading to college to get her social graces. They find companionship and forgiveness on their journey.

GOING PLACES will be staged at CVLT’s River Street Playhouse, 56 River St. in Chagrin Falls on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM. A Sunday matinee performance on July 8 is at 2 PM. Tickets are $12 general admission. Reserve your seat by visiting CVLT.org, calling 440-247-8955 or stopping in at the Box Office. Office hours are 1-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Parking and seating are limited, so advance purchase and arrival are encouraged.

CVLT is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by the Ohio Arts Council. CVLT is a proud member of the American Association of Community Theatre and the Ohio Community Theatre Association.
