The suspense is real as CVLT presents the thriller "Dead Certain" in March

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - Break up the gray monotony of winter with a sizzling night at the theater as CVLT's River Street Playhouse presents DEAD CERTAIN, a psychological thriller by Marcus Lloyd. One thing that is certain: this intricately plot will contain more twists and turns than the Chagrin River.

The play runs March 8-23, with seven weekend performances at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and one matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 17. The performances will take place on Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s intimate second stage at 56 River St.

Directed by Kourtney Highland, the story unfolds as Michael, an alcoholic and out-of-work actor played by Christian Achkar, arrives at the home of Elizabeth, a wheelchair-bound former dancer played by Jen Justice. Elizabeth has hired Michael, who was once on the verge of stardom, to act out a script she has written.

As she plies him with alcohol, the seemingly harmless evening turns into the most frightening journey of his life. Michael is stripped of his identity, caused to doubt his memory, and forced to question his sanity.

The suspense builds layer upon layer as truth and illusion become inseparably entangled, speeding the action toward a gripping and shocking climax.

According to Highland, the play will offer audiences an intriguing journey to a dark, but fascinating place.

Tickets are $13 at CVLT.org, by phone at 440-247-8955, or at the Box Office at 40 River Street 1-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. This play is not recommended for young or sensitive audiences, as it contains mature language and situations. Seating and parking are limited, so advance reservations and arrival are recommended.

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.
