Murder by the Falls 2024

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s MURDER BY THE FALLS event has served as the venerable non-profit’s season kickoff fundraiser every fall for many years, helping to pay for the upcoming slate of productions.

MURDER BY THE FALLS takes place the weekend after Labor Day, with performances on Friday September 6 and Saturday, September 7, 2024.

MURDER BY THE FALLS offers a unique and entertaining experience. Audience members arrive at CVLT (40 River Street in historic downtown Chagrin Falls) at 6:00 PM, to enjoy a reception featuring a cash wine/beer bar, and hors d’oeuvres in the theater’s lobby and vestibule. The play itself begins at 7:00 PM.

Audience members will leave the theater during intermission to search for hidden clues in the windows of Chagrin Falls stores, and to gain additional information from live actors stationed on the street.

After submitting their solutions, audience members will return to the auditorium for the second act, in which the killer will be revealed and the winners of prizes and free CVLT tickets will be announced.

A Deadly Inside Scoop

This year’s original play, A Deadly Inside Scoop, has been adapted for CVLT by Andrew Rothman from Abby Collette‘s ice cream parlor mystery series for Penguin Berkley.

You’ll meet Bronwyn “Win” Crewse, who found a body behind her family’s ice cream shop on the stormy night it was re-opened under her management. Win finds herself trying to solve the mystery of who killed the mysterious stranger — before the local police arrest her own father for the crime!

Audiences are invited to and solve the mystery along with Win and her friends in this dramatic puzzler.

Directed by Abby Longshore
