CVLT and Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra bring you a concert performance of the Rogers & Hammerstein classic, SOUTH PACIFIC. The story of romance between American nurse stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II and an expatriate French plantation owner yielded such classic songs as "Bali Ha'i", "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair", "Some Enchanted Evening", "There Is Nothing Like a Dame", "Happy Talk", "Younger Than Springtime" and "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy". This is a rare chance to hear the full score performed with a full-size orchestra!

CLAUDIA LILLIBRIDGE and LINDA RYAN

A beautiful young woman in nineteenth-century clothing is found floating on an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. When rescued, she says only one word: "Titanic." The woman, Winifred, is taken to an isolated spot on the coast of Maine where an expert on the sinking of the liner, a mysterious man named John, has arranged to interrogate her. His goal: to reveal her true identity.

In Jeffrey Hatcher's winding and improbable tale is a delicious game of cat-and-mouse where no one is what they seem. As time runs out, what secrets will be revealed as they make one final journey to Scotland Road? This 1993 winner of the Lois and Richard Rosenthal's fifth-annual New Play Prize wraps a suspenseful package of intrigue and psychodrama!

The annual Halloween production of Ghosts, Goblins and Gobbledygook is returning to Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's Main Stage on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 24 and 25! This show is intended for little ones ages 3-8.

Kids will watch as "Queenie" and the puppet "Mousie" will present a fairy tale, our Youth Theatre will present short Halloween 'playlets', there will be a "Skeleton Dance", and CVLT's own Edmond Wolff will play the guitar and sing Halloween songs.

Our usual villain "The Greedy Pumpkin" is back again to taunt the kids, but "Wanda, the Good Witch" will be there to save the day. As always, there will be a costume parade for kids on the stage (parents, bring your cameras!), Halloween treats for everyone, and prizes from the Pocket of "The Pocket Lady"!

SPIKE – an aspiring actor 29 or younger, Masha's new companion. Sexy, self-absorbed, but otherwise outgoing and energetic.
NINA – lovely, sincere would-be actress, early 20s, visiting her aunt and uncle next door. Star struck, earnest and energetic
