3. Acting romantic
Catch the final performance of “Moon Over Buffalo,” presented by Clark College’s Theatre Department. Traveling actors George and Charlotte Hay have gigs in a small-time theatre in Buffalo in the 1950s. Charlotte dreams of becoming a Hollywood movie star, while George believes stage acting is far superior to film. So when the couple get a call from a film director wanting them to star in his next big historical romance, comedic conundrums ensue.
