Moon Over Buffalo

The Very Little Theatre opens its 74th season on October 18 with a four-week
run of "Moon Over Buffalo," a farce by Ken Ludwig. The play first opened on Broadway
in 1995, and Carol Burnett was one of the stars.

The zany plot centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of repertory
theatre in 1950s Buffalo; the couple has just lost their last chance at stardom:-leads
in a Frank Capra movie. To make matters worse, their agent is smitten with Charlotte
and the company ingenue is pregnant by George. When the agent calls to say Frank Capra
will be attending the matinee, we discover George is missing and the company can't
figure out of it's playing "Private Lives" or "Cyrano de Bergerac." Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, all of which are
magnified by Charlotte's deaf mother who manages the theater, and a TV weatherman
dressed as General Patton.
