"Moon Over Buffalo"



   On stage this weekend, the Alban Arts Center presents Ken Ludwig’s hilarious comedy, Moon Over Buffalo.

   The play will be presented at the Alban Performing Arts Center in St. Albans on Friday, Feb. 23, Saturday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 25 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and youth 12 & under. 

   When Moon over Buffalo debuted in 1995, it marked Carol Burnett’s landmark return to Broadway after 30 years (for which she garnered a Tony Award nomination).

   The play centers on George and Charlotte Hay, formerly a couple of Broadway stars, who have taken their run-down touring company to Buffalo, New York. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in repertory with five actors. But on-stage harmony is compromised when George performs an off-stage infidelity. When Hollywood film director, Frank Capra, plans to visit a particular performance, chaos ensues within the company. This show is a valentine to live theatre. 

   The Alban’s production features local actors, Thomas W. Goodman as George Hay, Jennifer Scott as Charlotte Hay, Stephen Hayward as Paul, Lauren Meyer as Rosalind, Susi Cantley as Ethel, Lee Dean as Howard, Laura Michele Diener as Eileen, and Anthony W. Vickers as Richard Maynard. The production is directed by George R. Snider III. 

   Call 304-721-8896 for tickets. For more information, visit www.albanartscenter.com
