Moon Over Buffalo

The theatre may be dying. The glamorous invalid may be crawling through the desert with but a single lung in its feeble chest, but it's still breathing and it's all we've got. It's our lifeline to humanity.

Moon Over Buffalo is an over-the-top comedic celebration of the theatre framed in 1950s America. It honors the noble cornerstones of theatrical storytelling, including sex, violence, and a coming of age tale - the  origins of which are in our earliest preserved scripts.

 It begs the question of theatricality - why must this work be presented live and with an audience? The work is built on the the living history of theatre and invokes some of the greatest plays ever written while examining the scope of theatrical heritage and artist responsibility to the art form.

The play moves lighting quick. In a poetic fashion and true to its art form, much of the comedy is ephemerally situational and goes as quickly as it comes. It disregards the classical unities, embellishing in the theatrical conventions and styles that most serve the comedic drive of the play.
