Phone: 770-387-2610
By Ken Ludwig. A Pumphouse Players performance directed by Corinne Scott.
This backstage farce is about an acting couple on tour in Buffalo with productions of two different shows, Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles on the big screen in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte appear or run off with their agent? Will George be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures.
