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 1950s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five 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 he 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. 

The play is under the direction of Charles Burden and will run March 13-22.  Other production staff include Josie French-Sidelinger as Assistant Director, Danny Gay as Producer, Kayla James as Props Mistress and Ashley Violette as Costumer.

Showtimes are 7:30 pm on March 13, 14, and 20th, and 2 pm on March 15th, 21st and 22nd. On March 21st the production of the show will additionally provide ASL interpretation of the performance. All performances will occur at historic Cumston Hall, 796 Main St, Monmouth, ME 04259.
