VOTE YES on ISSUE 8
Over the past eight years, Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre has received nearly
$285,140 in support from Cuyahoga Arts &
Culture (CAC), and will have received
over $330,000 when our current award ends in 2017.
This money has helped us to hire a full time
Technical Director and key other personnel, and
enabled us to continue bringing you the best in
community theater. This type of funding
strengthens our community, and enriches the
quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of
all ages.
Cuyahoga Arts & Culture is the
public funder of arts and culture organizations,
programs and events in Cuyahoga County. CAC's sole
funding source is a dedicated cigarette tax levied
within Cuyahoga County. Established by voters in
2007, CAC has awarded over 1,200 grants since
then, distributing over $125 million in tax
dollars to more than 300 organizations based in
the County. Renewal of this funding source will be
on the Cuyahoga County ballot on November 3rd.
We encourage you to vote YES
on Issue 8 to help keep organizations like ours
strong and growing!

This holiday
season, leave the kids at home and head north for
laughter with C. Denby Swanson's playfully dark
comedy THE NORWEGIANS, at CVLT's River Street
Playhouse. The River Street is CVLT's smaller
second venue, just west of the main theater
building.
Marylee Gotch
and Katherine Remick play jilted ladies Olive and
Betty, two former southern women now living in
Minnesota. They've hired Norwegian hit-men Gus
(Nick Grimsic) and Tor (Don Knepper) to whack
their ex-boyfriends. These gangsters, it turns
out, aren't so great at what they do...
After the bustle
of Thanksgiving is over, give yourself a treat
with this Fargo-esque tale that's bound
to keep you laughing!
