Moon Over Buffalo
August 19 - September 6, 2026
by Ken Ludwig
A hilarious screwball comedy
George and Charlotte Hay were once celebrated stage actors, but now their careers are waning, and their relationship is falling apart due to George’s wandering eye. When they receive word that a Hollywood director is coming to their matinee, they realize they might have one more shot at success. But with unexpected backstage guests, missing actors, and confusion about what play they are actually performing, everything that could go wrong, does.

“By far Broadway’s funniest, most enjoyable lighthearted play. Buy a ticket!” – Entertainment Weekly
“crazy and zany comic confusion that runs wildly off the rails with laughter.” – Connecticut Critics Circle

“…it’s a delicious and decidedly entertaining evening… Be prepared to laugh out loud a lot.” -Talkin’ Broadway
