[Capdist-auditions] SCT’s Moon Over Buffalo

[Garrett West]

 Schuylerville Community Theater announces auditions for their fall production of Ken Ludwig’s MOON OVER BUFFALO, directed by Pat Douglass.

Auditions will be held on Tuesday, August 13th at 7pm at the Town of Saratoga Building on the corner of Routes 29 & 4 in Schuylerville. 

The production will run November 1st, 2nd & 3rd, with rehearsals beginning after Labour Day on Sundays from 12pm-4pm and Tuesdays & Thursdays from 7pm-10pm. All rehearsals and performances will be at the Town Hall.

Set at the Erlanger Theatre, Buffalo, NY in 1953, this fast-paced, madcap comedy features Charlotte and George Hay on tour with a repertory consisting of “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Noël Coward’s “Private Lives”, when they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee. Slamming doors, misunderstandings, mistaken identities, pratfalls, and plenty of backstage shenanigans lead to a slew of self-obsessed performers desperately trying to keep things from (hilariously) falling apart.
