With their marriage crumbling, a husband and wife acting team try to hold their family's theater company together long enough to get legendary film director Frank Capra to cast them in his film remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. But between a pregnant ingénue and a surprise visit from their daughter, things go horribly and comically wrong. Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced farce that ran for more than 300 performances on Broadway and was written by Ken Ludwig who created the hit comedy Lend me a Tenor. Learn More

Good direction by Stan Mazin. Very nice set. Generally good acting, the best though, by Bix Barnaba. A little too many tears from the lead actor.Written on Feb 09 2010
The plot works well under a very steady hand from director Mazin, though it might have worked a little better if it was kept in the time frame that it was written. Overall, a good prodution well worth seeing.

Description
The City
by Clyde Fitch
Adapted and Directed by Stan Mazin
The dream... the money... the scandal... George Rand, Jr., a man who is at the top of his game in a small town, wants more -- to play the power game in business and have a prominent career in politics. And so, he sets out from his small town to conquer the big city. Will the backroom deals and his ambition in the midst of family skeletons, make or break George Rand, Jr.?
The City was written by one of America's most prominent playwrights of the early 20th century. How could Clyde Fitch know his play would resonate 100 years later? Amazingly, this American classic does, loud and clear in this updated version of the original drama - - a drama that could have been ripped from today's headlines.
