CVLT Murder by the Falls

Murder by the Falls: Like, Totally Murder

by Greta Rothman & Andrew Rothman

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 5 and Saturday, September 6, 2025.

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. Dress up in your best 80s gear for our costume contest! Like, Totally Murder This year's original play, Like, Totally Murder, is the tenth MBTF script by siblings Greta & Andrew Rothman. Welcome back to the 1980s! You're invited to the homecoming planning meeting at Gen Exeter Academy, an elite private school. When the school's recently appointed leader is found dead, the faculty and staff are all suspects! This humorous script, peppered with 80s references and memorable characters, will have you wondering - who done it!
