MOON OVER BUFFALO to Play Actors' NET, 5/30-6/15

By:

MOON OVER BUFFALO: Ken Ludwig's riotous show biz romp, Moon Over Buffalo, takes to the Heritage Center stage in Morrisville for three weekends, from late May until the middle of June. NET Co-Founder Joe Doyle directs this slap-happy farce.

A theatrical married couple's stage career is in decline. Then, a freak accident in Hollywood causes a top film director to come to Buffalo to scout them as possible replacements to star in a big budget film. Too bad this break comes as the couple is feuding because the husband has impregnated the ingénue and the wife walks out; the husband responds by getting rip-roaring drunk and shows up onstage inebriated and dressed as Cyrano de Bergerac when they're supposed to be performing Noel Coward's Private Lives!

Starring real life husband and wife George Hartpence and Carol Thompson of New Hope. Co-starring Tess Ammerman of Arneytown, NJ; John Bergeron of Hopewell, NJ; Cheryl Doyle of Morrisville; Andrew James Gordon of West Windsor, NJ; and James Cordingley and Elizabeth Rzasa of Lawrenceville, NJ.

Matthew Cassidy of Morrisville assistant directs. Kelly E. Allen of Arneytown, NJ stage manages. Set design is by George Hartpence, lighting design by Andrena Wishnie of Morrisville, and costume coordination by Cheryl Doyle. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

The show runs May 30 - June 15, 2014 (Nine performances over three weekends), Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 North Delmorr Avenue (Route 32), Morrisville, PA -- near the Calhoun Street Bridge.
