RSVP Improv and “Little Shop
of Horrors” will hit CVLT's stages in March
CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio -
The River Side Valley Players (RSVP), Chagrin Valley
Little Theatre's improvisation troupe, will present “RSVP
Marches On” on March 10 and 11 at 8:00 p.m. at CVLT's
River Street Playhouse, 56 River St. Previous RSVP
performances have been sellouts, so early reservation is
recommended.
Led by Tracy Cubbal,
the group of improvisational actors performs live,
unscripted theater with prompting from the audience.
Characters, plot-lines, and dialogue are developed on the
spot for spontaneous fun. Due to the unpredictable nature
of the performances, the show is recommended for adults.
Tickets for this event are $10. RSVP also presents an
informal, free performance called "No RSVP Required" on
the second Thursday of each month.
Opening March 24 on
CVLT's Main Stage will be "Little Shop of Horrors,"
directed by Greta Rothman with musical direction by David
W. Coxe and choreography by Pamela LaForce. This popular
American musical by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer
Alan Menken made its Ohio debut on CVLT's stage 30 years
ago. "Little Shop" is based on a 1960 black comedy B-movie
in which a man-eating plant takes advantage of a poor,
nerdy florist. The score includes memorable songs such as
"Somewhere That's Green," "Dentist!," and "Suddenly
Seymour," and launched Menken and Ashman into their
careers as the songwriters behind a string of Disney
blockbusters.
"Little Shop" runs 8
p.m. Fridays and Saturdays March 24 through April 22, with
Sunday matinees at 2 on April 2 and 9. Tickets are $20,
with $4 discount for seniors and students. Group discounts
and event packages also available. It is not recommended
for young children due to some scary scenes.
Contact the Box Office
1-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 440-247-8955, visit CVLT.org to purchase tickets
or get more information.
CVLT is generously
funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts
