The show is directed by MCT Artistic Director, Robbie Allen. He last directed MCT\u2019s 2018 production of The Mousetrap, and was last seen onstage this year in The Whipping Man and Barefoot in the Park. <\/p>\n
\u201cI absolutely love this play,\u201d says Allen, \u201cIt is hilarious from start to finish and the characters are incredibly rich and fun. The play relies heavily on situational and farcical comedy, while still delivering very human and relatable character arcs. The writing is phenomenal and makes my job easy.\u201d He also adds, \u201cThe cast we\u2019ve assembled is incredible and such a joy to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moon Over Buffalo stars: Sid Marsh as George Hay, Elaine Saculla as Charlotte Hay, Todd Thomas as Paul Singer, Alyson Wren as Roz Hay, Sharon Perras as Ethel, Michael Crich as Richard, Charlie Cites as Eileen and Colten Minehart as Howard.<\/p>\n
The play runs JUNE 21st \u2013 JULY 14th . Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights at 7pm and Sundays at 2pm. Murphys Creek Theatre is located at
