Backstage farce leads off Workshop season

SOUTH FALLSBURG, NY — The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop will present Ken Ludwig’s farce “Moon Over Buffalo” as its first show of the 2008 season. Performances will be on Friday, May 2 and 9 and Saturday, May 3 and 10 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 4 and 11 at 2:00 p.m. at the fully air conditioned Nartoff-Wells Auditorium in the Rivoli Theatre on Route 42.

“Moon over Buffalo,” which starred Carol Burnett on Broadway, is a farce that shows the scenes behind the onstage scenes. There are really three plays intertwined with each other. The craziness includes five doors opening and closing, people hiding in closets, half-dressed actors, near misses in running into people who are hiding, mistaken identities and mass confusion.

“Moon Over Buffalo” is directed by Bunny Woloszczak and features Steve Lavelle (Liberty), Ann Prusinski (Mountaindale), Constance Slater (Woodbourne), Ellen Pavloff (Kerhonkson), Matthew Side (Mongaup Valley), Anthony Chanov (Liberty), Rick Schafstein (Rock Hill) and Heidi Woloszczak (Hurleyville). Sets are by Jim Schmidt and Bunny Woloszczak.Jackie Doerr is stage manager and Eileen Slater is producer.

Tickets cost $15 for general admission, $12 for seniors and $7 for students (with valid student ID). Special for opening night only, those who cannot afford regular admission prices may set their own price and pay what they can.
