Directed by Michael Rogan
Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D. The river flooded
again last week. The chandler’s shop burned to the ground. Nobody’s
heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And Saint Foy, the patron saint of the
local monastery, hasn’t worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other
words, the Dark Ages still seem pretty dark!
All eyes turn to the pope, whose promised visit will surely
encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its
former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the
relics of Saint Foy – and their bones are working miracles!
All seems lost, until a larcenous, one-eyed minstrel appears
and teaches the locals a few imaginative tricks to right their
financial ship. In the process, the monks learn a little something
about redemption.
A Monty Pythonesque comedy that gives new meaning to the old
Biblical buzzsaw, "robbing Peter to pay Paul!"
Tickets:
$14 regular / $10 for students and seniors.

Almost, Maine
April 17 - May 2, 2009
Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM
Directed by David Malinowski
Spring is in the air here in Cleveland, but in the mythical
town of Almost, Maine, the residents are still fighting the
cold. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above,
Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in
unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are
broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend – almost – in this
delightful midwinter nights’ dream written by John Cariani, best known
as CSU Tech 'Julian Beck' on the television show Law & Order.
Audiences are treated to nine quirky, romantic vignettes
exploring the impact of love on our lives. All 19 characters in these
pieces are played by four actors - Chuck Matthews, Maggie Leach,
Natalie Dolezal and Jon Gellott. Almost, Maine uses a "magical realism"
style, where everything is realistic except for the one magical moment
which seems to fit in seamlessly. The result is an enchanting and
whimsical evening that will help take that last chill Winter off of
your heart on your way into Spring!
Tickets:
$8 all seats

Duck Hunter
Shoots Angel
THE OHIO PREMIERE!
April 24 - May 16, 2009
Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM
Directed by Robert McCoy
CVLT presents the first Ohio production of Mitch Albom's
comedy, in which two bungling Alabama brothers think they’ve shot an
angel, not a duck, while hunting in the swampy southern woods. A
cynical tabloid reporter and his unwilling photographer are sent to
cover the story but think there might be something to it when they find
feathers, a wing, and a tiara at the scene. Throw in a shopgirl at the
local Gasmart, a half-man/half-alligator, and a ghost, and you have a
wonderful comedy with a heartfelt message.
This mix produces a love story, sibling rivalry, yellow
journalism, race relations, and cultural stereotypes – all wrapped up
with a surprise ending!
Tickets:
$14 regular / $10 for students and seniors.
Purchase
online 24/7 at www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/duckhunter.php
