Moon Over Buffalo
by Ken Ludwig
Directed by: Patrick Kramer
February 5–27, 2010
This hilarious comedy 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--leads in a Frank Capra movie. 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 soup thickens! When the agent calls to say Frank Capra will be attending the matinee, 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, and missing persons. Moon Over Buffalo premiered on Broadway with Carol Burnett.
