The Broken Arrow Community Playhouse is happy to present the hilarious comedy Moon Over Buffalo for two weekends in June. Performance dates are June 6 -15: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. at the Playhouse located at 1800 S. Main Street in Broken Arrow.

The madcap comedy Moon Over Buffalo by Ken Ludwig is set in the summer of 1953 and centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the traveling stage. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in repertory theatre in Buffalo, New York. Down on their luck doesn’t begin to describe it.

The great movie director Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he just might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Naked ambition takes over as George and Charlotte do everything in their power to make Capra love them. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, they are on the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue. Throw in the antics of the sharp-tongued, hard of hearing mother-in-law Ethel and a surprise visit from their daughter Rosalind and her clueless fiancé Howard, plus the hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, and everything that could go wrong does go wrong.

With a plethora of pratfalls, slamming doors aplenty, and backstage shenanigans, Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced, hilarious screwball comedy in the old tradition, a throwback farce, a valentine to the stage, and the larger-than-life personalities that inhabit the world of the theatre.

The BACP is pleased to welcome back director Don Tabberer. Don recently directed The Girl on the Train and Christmas in My Hometown. Don has assembled a stellar cast to bring this uproarious play to life on our stage. The cast includes: Noah Barnes, Zoe Burdess, Jody Graham, Paul Henry, Chae Page, Evan Paik, Ruth Seefeldt and Kevin Thrasher.

Ken Ludwig's Moon Over Buffalo is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.www.concordtheatricals.com. This production is made possible in part by grants from the Oklahoma Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Singer-songwriter AGALISIGA “THE CHUJ” MACKEY, who sings in his Native Cherokee language, plays Saturday at Burning Cedar Sovereign Wellness (49th & Peoria), where Chef Nico will be dishing up complimentary traditional Native food samples. The event is BYOB. Make sure to take home a free commemorative glass.

Singer-songwriter AGALISIGA “THE CHUJ” MACKEY, who sings many of his songs in the Cherokee language, grew up in the small traditional Cherokee community of Kenwood, OK. With a folksy presence and deep baritone voice honed from his upbringing singing Cherokee ceremonial songs, Mackey melds classic country and blues sounds, a la Jimmy Rodgers and R.L. Burnside. In a short time, the young father of two has grown from covering vintage tunes down at the creek to performing on big stages around the Midwest, while cultivating a growing audience among country fans and Native Americans alike. He is a language and culture educator at the Cherokee Immersion Charter School, where he teaches preK-8 ceremonial songs and contemporary Cherokee music.

NICO ALBERT WILLIAMS, the Executive Chef of Burning Cedar Sovereign Wellness, began her culinary education in her mother’s California garden and kitchen, preparing family meals. After relocating to Northeastern Oklahoma, the post-removal homeland of her mother’s people, she embraced the opportunity to re-establish a relationship with her Cherokee community, first and foremost through the language of food. Her journey to learn traditional Cherokee ways, dishes, and the wild and cultivated ingredients involved in their preparation, expanded into an embrace of Indigenous cuisines from many tribes, and to activism in Indigenous food revitalization and food sovereignty movements. Her work centers on the revitalization of ancestral Indigenous foodways to promote healing and wellness in the Native community. She steadily expands her knowledge of traditional ingredients and techniques through research and collaboration with Indigenous chefs and traditionalists from all Nations. Nico is the recipient of the 2021 Greater Tulsa Indian Affairs Commission Dream Keeper’s Award for Leadership in Business, and the 2022 Cherokee Nation Phoenix Seven Feathers Award for Culture. Her work has been featured on Food Network Magazine, USA Today, Hulu, BBC, Cherokee Nation’s OsiyoTV, Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Atlas Obscura, and PBS, among others.

Join us for a free, family-friendly day of exploring the beauty of our public lands.

Event Highlights:

• Free guided hikes ranging from 0.4 to 2 miles led by experienced naturalists who will share knowledge of local plants and ecosystems
• Small group hikes for a more personal and engaging experience

This event is open to all ages, kids and adults alike

Whether you're an avid hiker of just want to connect with nature and fellow Oklahomans, there's something for everyone!
