Chagrin Valley Little TheatreLAUGHING STOCKby Charles MoreyFriday
& Saturday nights at 8 PM through February 2, 2007 About the PlayHamlet, Charley’s Aunt and Dracula have never been performed like this! Directed by Robert McCoy Gordon Page, a middle-aged artistic director of a summer stock barn theater in New Hampshire, embarks on the theater’s 67th season taking the random and comical cast and crew on a wild ride that includes giant mosquitoes, eccentric directors and a very limited budget while the group gallantly attempts to keep the ship from sinking. Laughing Stock is a hectic and hilarious testament to theaters everywhere that never seem to have enough time, staff, money or talent to pull off the show, yet in the end, everyone gives it their all. It captures the magic of theater, showing how the art form tells a story while at the same time creating a temporary family amongst the cast and crew no matter where the show goes on. CVLT was voted 'Best Community Theatre' by Cleveland Magazine Readers, and 'Best Theatre Group' on the Fox 8 HotList in 2007. Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by the Ohio Arts Council. CVLT.org - 440.247.8955 |
