Pluss Theatre
$400/two semesters
Director: Kelly McAllister

There is nothing more fun for actors than a play about actors!! 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. The workshop production includes four fully-mounted public performances in the 100-seat Pluss Theatre. Registration for this class will commit actors to full participation through May 12, 2013.

There is no audition required to sign up for this production class. Students will be cast within the first few classes. There are multiple good roles for all students. Please read the rehearsal and performance schedule carefully to determine if you are able to participate. The winter and the early spring semester are scheduled like our traditional class offerings (one class meeting per week), while there are additional rehearsals in April and early May 2013 immediately prior to the performances. Also note that there is a mandatory performance on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12. Some scheduling conflicts, especially during the winter semester, can be accommodated, but if you will be out of town for the majority of rehearsals or for any performances, please do not enroll in this class.

PARENTS- DROP POLICY AFTER CASTING: Students will have four business days to drop this class after the posting of the cast list (which is traditionally on or before week three) with no penalty. After four business days from the public posting of the cast list, tuition will be non-refundable.

Instructor: Crystal Verdon

Considered by many to be the most perfect play ever written, Shakespeare’s classic tale weaves the stories of the Nobles, the Lovers, the Fairies and the Mechanicals into an exquisite blend of non-stop hilarity and enlightening mystery. What other play offers such rich variety as the deep musings of Theseus, the energetic star-crossed love quadrangle of Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena, the earth shaking fight of Oberon and Titania, the absurdity of Bottom’s mysterious donkey head, and then end with the side splitting “play within a play” about the hapless Pyramus and Thisby? In a cut version meant to be shorter and easier for grades 3-6, we hope young artists will be enchanged by the mystic magic that can only happen when life truly becomes a dream. Please note that students who sign up for this class are committed to participation through our spring semester (ending with our performance on May 23, 2013).
