With everything

that can go wrong during the run of a play, the theater is the perfect

setting for a farce.

Whether it

is flubbed lines, missed cues, misplaced props or just the actor getting

in the way of his or her own performance, mistakes in a play can be hilarious.

Mistakes and misadventures abound in "Moon Over Buffalo," a

farcical comedy by Ken Ludwig, which is being presented by Southside Theatre

Guild, Thursdays-Saturdays, Feb. 7-23.

The play deals

with an acting couple on tour in Buffalo with a troop of B level actors

who are performing "Cyrano" and "Private Lives." Fate

has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in "The

Twilight of The Scarlet Pimpernel" directed by Frank Capra, who is

en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance of "Cyrano"

or "Private Lives."

There's a chance

that Charlotte Hay will run off with her agent and her husband, George,

may not be sober enough to act. Then there is the question of which play

Capra will see, "Cyrano," "Private Lives," or an odd

mixture of the two. The misadventures soon pile up at a frenetic pace,

all of which are magnified by Charlotte's deaf mother who manages the

theater.

"Moon

Over Buffalo" will be presented at 8 p.m., Thursday-Saturday at Southside

Theater Guild in Fairburn. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children.
