Seeking Talent for "Moon Over Buffalo" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Moon Over Buffalo" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: 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. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf, old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body. Additional info: Auditions will include cold readings from the script. All roles are available - actors 18 and over, please. Be ready to provide a list of date conflicts you may have leading up to the performances. Rehearsals are tentatively scheduled to begin November 22. *
