CVLT brings the life of legendary showman and circus founder P.T. Barnum to the stage in a blockbuster extravaganza unlike anything Chagrin Falls has seen!

BARNUM's stirring and exciting musical tale follows the great showman's career and his enduring romance with his wife, as CVLT's stage soars with acrobats, stilt-walkers, jugglers, unicyclists and clowns!

"When the lights went up on Friday night and the rhythmic clapping accompaniment to the finale had finally faded, the one common word heard coming out of the mouths of departing audience members was 'fun'." - Jeff Piorkowski, Sun News

30th Annual Murder By The Falls

Friday, September 11 at 7 PM
Saturday, September 12 at 7 PM

Tickets: $65 regular (50% tax deductible)

For information see www.cvlt.org/86thSeason/murderbythefalls.php
or call 440-247-8955

Murder by the Falls kicks off each new season at CVLT with an original audience-participation comedy/mystery. Money raised from this highly popular event goes to the general operating expenses of the theatre. Audience "detectives" are grouped 8 per squad. You may choose your fellow detectives when ordering tickets, or your Chief (aka CVLT) will assign your partners for you. You and your team will compete for prizes by taking notes during Act 1, searching the Village for clues, interviewing characters, and helping our intrepid detective to solve the crime!

This year's original mystery, Is There A Doctor In The House? by Greta and Andrew Rothman, parodies your favorite TV hospital dramas with a clinically silly sendup that will leave you in stiches! When the Director of Saint Chagrin General County University Hospital is brought into his own emergency room after a mysterious (but seemingly innocuous) fainting episode, everyone is worried. But when he suddenly dies of an apparent heart attack, everyone in the E.R. becomes a suspect!
