Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo will run through Sunday, April 16, at the Arts Center of Cannon County.
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 in Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in repertory theatre 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: Director Frank Capra (best known for It’s a Wonderful Life) 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.
