The Story: This backstage farce centers on a not very famous acting couple who are on tour in Buffalo in 1953 with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac and Noel Coward’s Private Lives. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic. Famed director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte Hay appear or run off with their agent? Will George Hay be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, all of which are magnified by Charlotte’s deaf mother, who manages the theater.

First time director, but long time volunteer, Patrick Kiernan, directs for our final show of this, our 50th anniversary season. “Moon Over Buffalo” was last performed at Theatre West in December 2010, directed by Stina Seeger-Gibson, a long time Theatre West stalwart.
