Moon Over Buffalo by  Ken Ludwig Getting Ready for October 16 Opening
 
 In one week, Ken Ludwig’s raucous  comedy, Moon Over Buffalo, which is a 
Samuel French production,  will be performed by the Canal Fulton Players.  
The play will be  presented on October 16-18 and 23-25, 2009 at the United 
Methodist Church  of Canal Fulton, 363 West Cherry Street, Canal Fulton, Ohio.  
The play  deals with an aging traveling repertory company in 1953, led by 
two fading  Broadway flash in the pans, George and Charlotte Hay.  Things 
have gotten  so bad for the troupe that George and Charlotte are on the verge 
of a marital  breakup.  This breakup started when their daughter, Rosalind, 
left the  company to pursue a career in advertising.  Complicating matters 
are no  money, Hollywood's reluctance to cast two aging Broadway stars in a 
blockbuster  movie, and a supporting actress who discovers that she has a real 
bad personal  problem.   What happens next as they realize that there is 
light at  the end of the tunnel which has numerous twists, turns and obstacles 
will have  you laughing hysterically.  Just remember- Frank  Capra.
    Starring in the  lead roles of Charlotte and George Hay are Kathy Devus 
and Mike Daniel.   Kathy previously played the part of Rosalind in the play 
in 1998 at the North  Canton Playhouse while Mike played George in 2000 at 
the Carnation  Players.  They are complemented by Jon Neumann as Paul, the 
rather nervous  and love struck business agent for the acting troupe, and 
Lisa Van Gaasbeek as  Rosalind Hay, George and Charlotte’s estranged daughter 
who has fled the theatre  to pursue a career in advertising.  Rosalind’s 
fiancé, Howard, the  consummate nerd and a television weatherman by trade, is 
played by newcomer  Nathan Sickman.  Just remember that it all involves 
barometric  pressure.
    Ethel, Charlotte’s  mother and the troupe‘s jack of all trades, is 
played by Linda Ryan while  Richard Maynard, the acting troupe’s lawyer, is 
played by Bill Brown.   Rounding out the cast is Eileen, the young actress who 
causes a great deal of  headaches, who is played by Sarah Price.  
    The play will be  presented on October 16-17 and 23-24 at 8:00 pm.  It 
will be presented on  October 18 and 25 at 7:00 pm.  Admission is $7.00 for 
adults and $5.00 for  seniors and children under the age of 12.  There will 
be a dinner theatre  on October 24 and the cost is $17.00 for adults and 
$15.00 for seniors and  children under the age of 12.  There are already thirty 
two reservations  and there are 100 seats.  The dinner consists of 
cranberry chicken,  mashed potatoes, candied carrots, crunchy cole slaw, dessert and 
beverage.   Please call David Van Gaasbeek if you wish to make a 
reservation for October  24.
