It’s 1953 in Buffalo where actors, George and Charlotte Hay, are fading faster than a New York minute. Their struggle to keep their name in lights has them performing Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives in tandem on the repertory theatre circuit. If fighting for their professional survival wasn’t enough, their marriage is on a downward slope. And, making matters even more desperate, their daughter is soon to marry outside of the land of thespians as she is engaged to, of all walks of life, a WEATHER MAN. There seems to be a break in the storm, however, when word arrives that a Hollywood director is coming to see their performances. Will the band of performers be able to change their course?
If you enjoy a good belly laugh, Moon Over Buffalo is sure to hit the mark. If you’re an actor, have even been on the stage, or one day aspire to take a turn on the boards, then you’ll love it even more. This comedy classic represents (some) of the ridiculousness of those entrenched in the world of theatre.
The show runs January 19-28 with 7:30 PM performances Thursdays through Saturdays and 3:00 PM Sunday matinees. Visit towntheatre.com for details. Moon Over Buffalo is directed by Allison McNeely. Dell Goodrich serves as costumer with set design by Bob Branham, light design by Jeremy Hansard and stage management from Kerry McGregor. The show is generously sponsored by Genesis Studios and Total Comfort Solutions.
