Mariemont Players, Inc. is pleased to announce auditions for MOON OVER BUFFALO by Ken Ludwig on Sunday, October 6th and Monday, October 7th from 7-10pm. Directed by Aaron Whitehead and Produced by Natasha Boeckman and Fred Murrell.

Synopsis: This madcap comedy centers on two fading stage actors who may have one last shot at stardom if they can just keep their act, and relationship, together. On the brink of divorce while touring Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives in repertory, George and Charlotte Hay learn that Frank Capra is coming to their matinee. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong in this side-splitting farce.

Character Breakdown: listed ages are stage ages

GEORGE HAY – (50s-60s) A pompous actor with a flair for the dramatic, George finds himself having to juggle multiple women and multiple plays at the same time. A ham and an over-actor.

CHARLOTTE HAY – (50s-60s) Charlotte is George’s wife, a much more practical person than the unsteady George but also possesses a stubborn and vindictive streak.

ETHEL – (60s-80s) Charlotte’s mother. Performs all manner of odd jobs around the theatre while muttering to herself. Extremely hard of hearing.

ROSALIND – (20s-30s) George & Charlotte’s daughter. Grew up in the theatre and still has it running through her veins, but is trying to escape the endless drama of her parents’ theatrical circus and find a life that’s more ordinary.

HOWARD –  (20s-30s) Rosalind’s fiance. A weatherman. Cheerful and upbeat but sorely lacking in personality.

EILEEN – (20s) A young actress in George & Charlotte’s company. Had a fling with George. Takes the stage very seriously but is not incredibly mature and doesn’t handle adversity well.

PAUL – (20s-30s) Stage manager for George & Charlottes company. Rosalind’s ex-fiance. Does the best he can to keep the machine running and keep the craziness in check.

RICHARD – (40s-60s) A lawyer friend of Charlotte’s who is very much in love with her. Very classy and sophisticated.
