CVLT offers up a real 'Perfect Wedding' - 5/21/09

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Few situations could raise more concern in the average man than waking up after a night of drunken bachelor partying to find a strange, naked woman next to him in bed. However, when that man is the groom, and is getting married in only a few hours, and that woman is not his wife, things can quickly get stickier than a face full of wedding cake frosting!

Such is the situation for Bill (Adam V. Young), the hapless leading man in Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's Perfect Wedding, a comedy from British playwright Robin Hawdon (Don't Dress for Dinner, The Mating Game). While Bill is attempting to recall who this young woman (Brenda Redmond) is, his best man Tom (Eric Oswald) is soon knocking at the hotel room door, and not far behind is his fiancée Rachel (Rachel D. Zake). Throw in the bride's mother Daphne (Elaine Sonnie) and Julie the hotel maid (Denise Bernstein), and you have all of the necessary ingredients for a riotous farce! This tangled and touching love story of hilarious confusion, mistaken identities, and cover-up lies opens under the direction of Barbara L. Rhoades on June 5th.

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will be offering two very special promotions in conjunction with this production; a silent auction of designer bridal gowns will be held throughout the run of Perfect Wedding, with gowns on display in the lobby of the theatre and at the theatre's website (CVLT.org). In addition, CVLT is offering a 'perfect wedding' on the Perfect Wedding set to any interested couple (opening and closing nights excepted). The theatre will provide the stage and will play any music provided on the theatre's sound system. A wine and cheese reception in the theatre's River Room, as well as free tickets for the bride and groom and a group discount to their family and friends are also included. Interested couples should send a 100-word or less statement on why they'd like to celebrate their special day in this unique way to nancy@cvlt.org by June 5. A three-person committee of CVLT Board members will choose the winner. For complete details, see http://www.cvlt.org/79thSeason/perfectwedding.php.

Perfect Wedding runs Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM from June 5 through June 27. Tickets are $14 or $10 for students and seniors and can be purchased online 24 hours a day at www.CVLT.org, or by calling the Box Office at 440-247-8955 between 1 and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday.

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
