SHUFFLE OFF TO…”MOON OVER BUFFALO”
March 30, 2007, Genesee Community College, Batavia, NY – The Forum Players at Genesee Community College, the college’s student-based acting group, will be concluding their 2006-2007 season with the hilarious comedy MOON OVER BUFFALO by Ken Ludwig. Premiering Thursday, April 19, 2007 at 7:30PM at the Stuart Steiner Theatre, subsequent performances are scheduled for Friday, April 20 at 7:30PM, Saturday, April 21 at 7:30PM, and Sunday, April 22 at 2:00PM.
Written by Ken Ludwig, MOON OVER BUFFALO is a slapstick comedy about a 1953 traveling repertory company of actors, led by the husband and wife team of George and Charlotte Hay, as they make one desperate, last-gasp attempt at stardom…in Buffalo, NY. When famed director-god Frank Capra decides to come see George and Charlotte for his next big movie, they must play their cards, and their roles, to perfection, if they want to get the big break they’ve been waiting for. Nothing, however, goes according to script in this hysterically funny, door-slamming farce when the Hays must deal with their returning daughter, her ex-boyfriend, an almost-deaf costume mistress, a local weatherman, a forgetful actress and a lovelorn lawyer.
With cast members that include Genesee students, faculty and members of the local community, MOON OVER BUFFALO stars Norm Gayford and Lucine Kauffman as George and Charlotte Hay, respectively. Rounding out the company of players are Rachel Buckenmeyer, Jessica Hishman, Robert Reiss, Ruth Strzelewicz, Gavin Eastlack and Michael David Porter. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., MOON OVER BUFFALO is being directed by Maryanne Arena, Fine & Performing Arts Director at the Genesee Center for the Arts. Scenic Design is by Kym Dick and Lighting Design by Yusuke Nemoto, with Vincent Elliott serving as Sound Designer and Technical Director on the production.
General admission ticket prices are $6.00 for adults, $3.00 for students, senior citizens and GCC faculty, and $2.00 for GCC students with a valid ID.
