Eric Lewis News

The Phoenix Theatre presents Moon Over Buffalo by Ken Ludwig, directed by Eric Lewis, running October 7th thru 30th.

This madcap comedy centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950's who are on the brink of a disastrous breakup caused by George's dalliance with a young actress. They receive word that Frank Capra is coming to see their matinee and if he likes what he sees may cast them in his next movie.  Unfortunately everything that could go wrong does go wrong due to their daughter's clueless boyfriend and hilarious uncertainty about which play they are performing.

The production of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING at the Marriott Theatre had its opening night last night, check out some brand new pictures of the cast below
