MOON OVER BUFFALO runs Sept. 30-Oct. 8

MOON OVER BUFFALO
Presented by The Drama Workshop
 Sept. 30-Oct. 8
Westwood

Charlotte and George Hay, an acting couple not exactly the Lunts are on tour in Buffalo in 1953 with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac “revised, one nostril version” and Noel Coward’s Private Lives. This backstage farce by the author of Lend Me a Tenor brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway co-starring with Philip Bosco as her megalomaniac, drunken husband and leading man. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte appear or run off with their agent? Will George be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, in this valentine to Theatre Hams everywhere.

BTC review | CityBeat review |

A powerful, electrifying work by the playwright whom many regard as the finest American playwright of the late 20th Century. Presented both in Los Angeles and on Broadway to critical and popular acclaim, the play probes deeply and humorously into the lives of its singular characters. After the death of Robby, a roommate, friend and collaborator in her professional dance career, Anna is haunted by his family’s ignorance of him being gay. Shortly after his death, Robby’s brother Pale shows up to claim Robby’s belongings and piece together the missing parts of his life. Together with Anna, he works to unravel the secrets of a person they both loved.

Directed by Timothy Waldrip

Cast: Nathan Neorr as Pale, Gina Cerimele-Mechley as Anna, Jason Burgess as Larry & John Wilmes as Burton

Enquirer review | BTC review | CityBeat review |

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic 1869 semi-autobiographical novel, it focuses on the four March sisters – brassy, tomboy-like, aspiring writer Jo, romantic Meg, pretentious Amy, and kind-hearted Beth – and their beloved Marmee, at home in Concord, Massachusetts while the family patriarch is away serving as a Union Army chaplain during the Civil War. Intercut with the vignettes in which their lives unfold are several recreations of the melodramatic short stories Jo writes in her attic studio.

Directed by Sandra Forman
Music directed by Jamey Strawn

Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress.
