 Moon
Over Buffalo
Home Made
Theater presents Ken Ludwig’s comedy Moon Over Buffalo,
a story about the chaotic lives and goings-on of people in
a traveling theater production. The production promises to
explain why theater people have the mantra “the show must
go on.” Actors turn up missing or pregnant, and other mishaps
ensue as a powerful Hollywood producer stops by for a surprise
visit.
Moon
Over Buffalo will be performed at the Spa Little Theater
at Saratoga State Park beginning tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 10).
A preview performance will be held tonight (Thursday, Oct.
9) at 8:15 PM for $10. The show will run for three consecutive
weekends (Oct. 10-11, 17-19 and 24-26). Friday and Saturday
performances are at 8:15 PM; on Saturday, Oct. 24, there also
will be a 4 PM show. Sunday matinee performances will be at
2 PM. A dinner package is available at Lillian’s Restaurant.
All tickets are $21 and $19. For more information or to order
tickets, call the Home Made Theater Box Office at 587-4427.
