Riverside Arts Center: PTD Productions – Moon Over Buffalo by Ken Ludwig

PTD Productions Presents: Moon Over Buffalo by Ken Ludwig and directed by Daniel Dye

George and Charlotte Hay, a husband-and-wife acting team, are touring Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives in Buffalo, New York. The Hays receive word that Frank Capra is coming to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. However, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, including a love triangle, a show-within-a-show, and a visit from Charlotte’s stage-manager mother. The play is a commentary on the theater business and the power of love and laughter. Moon Over Buffalo is a side-splitting farce with a sense of absurdity, running gags, and comic invention.
