“Moon Over Buffalo”, which starred Carol Burnett on Broadway, opens the long
running community theater troupe’s 66th Season. With performances scheduled
for November 5, 6, 12, 13 19 & 20 the hilarious and popular comedy by Ken
Ludwig will be directed by Bob McCoy.

 

“Moon Over Buffalo” centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of
repertory theatre in 1950's Buffalo. The couple has just lost their last
chance at stardom and to make matters worse, their agent is smitten with
Charlotte and the company ingénue is pregnant by George. Add to the mix an
almost deaf grandmother/costume mistress and a forgetful weatherman/fiancée
and the fun starts rolling! When the agent calls to say Frank Capra will be
attending the matinee (one last shot at fame), we discover George is missing
and the company can't figure out if it's playing Private Lives or Cyrano de
Bergerac. The plot is full of misunderstandings, misplaced affections,
people hiding in closets, half-dressed actors, mistaken identities, mass
confusion and missing persons. Roles are available for 4 men and 4 women.

 

“Moon Over Buffalo is hilarious! Ludwig stuffs his play with comic
invention, running gags and neat sense of absurdity. An evening of farcical
delight. Go and enjoy!”- New York Post (Clive Barnes)
