Students in Anderson High School’s comedic One Act play, Moon Over Buffalo, will compete in the state UIL meet this week, along with eight other 5A schools at the Bass Concert Hall. This is the first time since 1995 Anderson students have made it to this prestigious level of competition, and the sixth time in the history of the school. 

Set in Buffalo, N.Y. in 1953, Moon Over Buffalo follows the story of Charlotte and George Hay, a middle-aged couple who dream of hitting it big while performing at a repertory theater. But when a famous director approaches the couple with the prospect of appearing in a movie, hilarious misunderstanding and madcap misadventures ensue.

The community will have a chance to see the young actors in action when they perform at the Bass Concert Hall on the University of Texas campus this Wednesday. Tickets go on sale at 6:30 p.m. and the competitions begins at 7:30 p.m. Anderson High School students are expected to perform at 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students.

Break a leg Trojans!
