IPAL will be holding auditions for their next play, Moon Over Buffalo, on February 17th from 3 pm to 5 pm and again on February 18th from 5:30 pm to 7 pm at the old Essenee Theatre on Iberia Street in New Iberia.
Moon over Buffalo marked Carol Burnett’s triumphant return to Broadway after 30 years (for which she received a Tony Award nomination). It also starred Philip Bosco and Randy Graff. Subsequent Broadway casts included Lynn Redgrave and Robert Goulet. Moon Over Buffalo later opened at London’s legendary Old Vic starring Joan Collins and Frank Langella, under the title Over the Moon. It was directed on Broadway by Tom Moore, and in London by Ray Cooney.
In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend me a Tenor, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950's. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with 5 actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body.
For 4 men and 4 women. For more information, call IPAL at (337) 364-6114.
