Casting Performers for "Moon Over Buffalo" Show
The company is holding audition for "Moon Over Buffalo" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend Me A Tenor, Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay—fading stars of the 1950s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five actors. Down on their luck doesn’t begin to describe it. But the great movie director Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee. If he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Naked ambition takes over as George and Charlotte do everything in their power to make Capra love them. Additional info: Cast Read Through: Saturday, August 3 at 12:00 p.m. Rehearsals: Sunday–Thursday evenings (not everyone will be called for each rehearsal until we get closer to opening; please come to auditions with all conflicts) Tech Week: September 15–19, 2024 Show Run: September 20 – October 6, 2024 (evening performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; matinees on Sundays at 2:00 p.m.) Auditions will consist of readings from the script.
