The diva lead actress, Charlotte Hay, is barely tolerant of her philandering semi-alcoholic husband, George, and mishaps and confusions arise for the company when presented the opportunity of famed film director Frank Capra attending a performance to possibly cast the two for a movie.</span></div><div class="" style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span><br></span></div><div class="" style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span> Their temperamental daughter Rosalind splits time between fiancé Howard and ex-fiancé Paul, who works as the company’s stage manager. Charlotte’s nearly-deaf mother, Ethel, and Richard, a would-be suitor for Charlotte, make their contributions to the mayhem as Eileen, a young actress in the company, reveals her pregnancy to all.</span></div><div class="" style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span><br></span></div><div class="" style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span>The hopeful actors sprint through the tangle of confusion to produce a woefully misbegotten mixture of two different plays in their hoped-for presentation piece, and in the play’s climactic scene, manage to set everything right by still more series of coincidences and mishaps. Overall, Moon over Buffalo is a fast-paced and energetic night of entertainment. </span></div><div class="" style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span><br></span></div><div class="" style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span>· What will happen on audition day? We’ll warm up with some improvisation exercises and examine your ability to take direction.
