MOON OVER BUFFALO – April 28, 29, 30 at 8PM, May 1 at 2PM – Bigrove Theater at CCC
In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend me a Tenor, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950’s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with 5 actors.
On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body.
This production, directed by Robert Frame, promises “rolling in the aisle” laughs! Moon Over Buffalo will play April 28, 29, and 30 at 8:00, with a matinee on Sunday, May 1 at 2:00 PM. at the Bisgrove Theater at Cayuga Community College, 197 Franklin St. in Auburn.

“Hilarious . . . building up its laughs methodically shtick by shtick. . . . Ludwig stuffs his play with comic invention, running gags . . . and a neat sense of absurdity. . . . Go and enjoy.” – N.Y. Post.
”Somewhere up above . . . George S. Kaufman, Abe Burrows, Moss Hart and all those clever fellows who wrote the comedies of yesteryear are rolling with laughter, echoing the audience last night at . . . Moon Over Buffalo. . . . The play is nothing less than a love-letter to live theater.” – Boston Herald.
