A former hit on Broadway starring comedian Carol Burnett, playwright Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced comedy about an aging theatrical couple, George and Charlotte Hay (played by Eric Weiman and Elizabeth Harris), who learn a famous Hollywood director plans to visit their matinee performance as a precursor to casting them in a film.

Set in 1953 at the Erlanger Theater in Buffalo, matters are complicated by George and Charlotte’s visiting daughter, Rosalind (Eleanor Axt), her wide-eyed fiancé, Howard (Matt Huppert & Kian Hashemi-Rad), stage manager, Paul (Teddy Hoffman), Charlotte's nearly-deaf mother, Ethel (Katie Neville), an amorous lawyer, Richard (James Warner), and a young actress, Eileen (Maria DePesa) who has some very bad and untimely news for George.  Everything in the world that could go wrong does. 

Packed with fast-paced dialogue, mistaken identities, and slapstick humor peppered with sarcasm, this action-packed, zany look at life and love in the theater is guaranteed to keep audiences laughing out loud from beginning to end.
