Press Release
 
Canal Fulton Players will be holding auditions  for “Moon Over Buffalo” on 
August 25-26
 
 The Canal Fulton Players at the UMC Family Theatre are proud  to announce 
that they will be holding auditions for the raucous slapstick  comedy, Moon 
Over Buffalo, by Ken Ludwig, on August 25-26, 2009 at 7:00 pm each  night.  
The auditions will be held at the United Methodist Church of Canal  Fulton, 
363 West Cherry Street, Canal Fulton, Ohio.  The performances for  this play 
will be on October 16-18 and 23-25, 2009.  Rehearsals will begin  on August 
31, 2009.

The play, which is produced by Samuel  French Inc., will be directed by 
David Van Gaasbeek.  The auditions, which  are open and newcomers are 
encouraged to participate, will include all eight  parts.  Those parts are:
 
 (1) George Hay- an over the hill actor who is trying to use  the road 
shows of Cyrano de Bergeac and Private Lives by Noel Coward to jump  start his 
sagging career, is in his late forties or early fifties in  age.
 
 (2) Charlotte Hay- George’s wife and leading lady, who cannot  understand 
why time has passed her by.  She, too is in her late forties or  early 
fifties in age.
 
 (3) Ethel- Charlotte’s mother, who is the jack of all trades,  and who is 
selectively deaf.  She is in her late sixties.
 
 (4) Rosalind Hay- George’s and Charlotte’s daughter, who has  left the 
acting troupe, for greener pastures and love.  She is in her  twenties.
 
 (5) Howard- Rosalind’s fiance, who is absolutely enamored  with the fact 
that he is marrying into the famous Hay family of actors.  He  also is in his 
twenties.
 
 (6) Eileen- The new actress in the troupe who somehow has a  great deal of 
affection for George.  She is in her twenties.
 
 (7) Paul- Rosalind’s former love and the business manager and  member of 
the acting troupe.  He is in his thirties.
 
 (8) Richard- The acting troupe’s lawyer and agent.  He  likes George but 
loves Charlotte.  He is in his late forties or early  fifties.
 
 The play is based in Buffalo during 1953.  The troupe is  performing 
Cyrano at night and Private Lives in the afternoon.  George and  Charlotte have 
been relegated to the road because their movie careers stopped  due to lack 
of appeal.  They have one shot left when two famous stars  cannot perform due 
to injury and the famous Frank Capra is coming to see them  act.  
Everything is going fine until Eileen lets them in on a secret and  Rosalind 
announces that she is engaged.  After that everything comes apart  or does it?
