# Event Details - **Event Name**: Auditions for Moon Over Buffalo - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Jun, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Sun, 22 Jun, 2025 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Broadview Heights Spotlights is excited to announce our next production: MOON OVER BUFFALO By Ken Ludwig Directed by Chris Bizub 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 1950s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five 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 he 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 PERFORMANCES August 29th-September 13th Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 3:00pm Broadview Heights Spotlights Cultural Arts Building AUDITIONS: Sunday, June 22nd, 2025 - 7:00PM-10:00PM Wednesday, June 25th, 2025 - 7:30PM-10:00PM AUDITION APPOINTMENTS: Please sign-up for a 30-minute group slot at the link below: TO SIGN UP FOR A GROUP AUDITION SLOT, CLICK HERE: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0548ADAF2BA6F94-57231990-auditions#/ WHAT TO PREPARE: *Actors should bring a headshot or recent picture, and resume (if you have one) *A list of conflicts from July 19th to September 13th *Auditions will consist of readings from the script AUDITION/REHEARSAL LOCATION: Broadview Heights Spotlights Cultural Arts Building 9543 Broadview Rd, Broadview Heights, OH 44147 CALLBACKS: Sunday, June 29th from 7:00PM-9:30PM [if needed] CHARACTERS: George Hay: (40’s-60’s) is very dramatic, a slapstick type, over-the-top actor. As leader of his own acting troupe, George has always had aspirations to be famous. He’s a bit of a ladies man but really is devoted to his wife, Charlotte. The actor must be able to do strong physical comedy, which could include pratfalls, running, stage slaps, stage combat, etc. Charlotte Hay: (40’s-60’s) is very much a drama queen. She helps to run the acting troupe and plays all the leads even the ones she’s a bit old for. She is a consummate actress who still has dreams of being a star–at all costs! She loves George but is getting tired of his philandering. She has to be able to do an upper-class British accent. Some physical comedy required. Ethel: (60’s+) is Charlotte’s mother–close to her daughter, but not happy with her daughter’s choice of a husband. She is also an actress–very witty, and doesn’t take any crap from anyone! She is very hard of hearing, which leads to comic misunderstandings. Rosalind Hay: (20’s-30's) George and Charlotte’s daughter, used to be an actress and a member of their acting troupe, but she decided that she wanted a real career, so she left–determined never to act again–or be like her parents! Rosalind is, in fact, always repressing her dramatic side, but it’s a losing battle by the end. She has a new fiancé, Howard, but she used to be in love with an actor in her parent’s troupe, Paul. The actress has to also be able to do an upper-class British accent. Howard: (20’s-30’s) is Rosalind’s fiancé–a weatherman–so he considers himself to be in the “acting” business. He comes across as a wimp, a little annoying, nervous, and very excitable. The actor must be able to do strong physical comedy. Eileen: (20’s-30's) is an aspiring actress, eager to please. She has a crush on George and has been having a fling with him. Eileen wants to be a leading actress with the company, and she comes across very flighty and naïve, but ultimately will do anything to get what she wants. She can be played as a bit manipulative. Paul: (20’s-30’s) is a member of the acting troupe, who used to be with Rosalind and still loves her and wants her back; but he is an actor first and foremost, so he wouldn’t leave the troupe to be with her. Paul has a quiet, subtle sense of humor and often holds the company together. The actor must be able to do an upper-class British accent and must be able to do strong physical comedy. Richard: (40's-60’s) He is George and Charlotte’s attorney, but he is in love with Charlotte–always trying to get her to leave George. He is wealthy and used to getting what he wants, and he is both amused and perplexed by the Hay family.
