Moon Over Buffalo Cast

Gary Lehman (George Hay)
Moon Over Buffalo is Gary's third PTD show as a performer, the others being Rumors and Perfect Arrangement. He directed last summer's PTD production of Fuddy Meers. Gary would like to thank the cast and crew for the wonderful process. Unbeknownst to him, Gary has been prepping for acting drunk since high school.
Laura Mandernack (Charlotte Hay)
Laura is super excited to be doing her second show with PTD Productions following Winnie in The Hat Box. She has most recently appeared in Neighborhood Theatre Group's original musical parody, A Stranger in My Breakfast Nook. Laura has acted with many other companies including A Wilde Theatre, Tipping Point Theatre, The Dio, and Pinckney Players. When Laura is not on stage, she is a Zumba instructor and a dog walker. She would like to thank you for supporting live theater and hopes you enjoy the show!
Andrea Rothney (Ethel)
Andrea is joining PTD for the first time after working at Traverse City Old Town Playhouse and Summer Shakespeare, WMU, Kalamazoo Civic, Swift Lake Farms, and Armed Forces Entertainment in Wuerzburg and Stuttgart, Germany. Her favorite roles have included Golde(x2) in Fiddler on the Roof, Princess Winifred in Once Upon a Mattress, Kate in Crazy for You, Ado Annie, then Aunt Eller in Oklahoma! and multiple gigs in melodramas, musical revues and madrigal/renaissance events. She thanks her unfailingly supportive husband and daughters, and appreciates the warm welcome from the cast and crew of this production.
Veronica Long (Rosalind)
Veronica is over the moon to be playing Roz for her fifth show with PTD. She previously directed The Mousetrap and was on stage for One Slight Hitch (Courtney), Rumors (Cassie Cooper), and Jeeves at Sea (Miss Pilbeam). Other favorite acting credits include Jane Eyre (Jane Eyre), Vera Claythorne (And Then There Were None), Florence Unger (The Odd Couple: Female Version), Miss Scarlet (Clue), and Hermia (A Midsummer Night’s Dream). She’s so thrilled to be included in Dan’s directorial debut, as he has been a part of many shows she’s directed including as her assistant director. Outside of theater, Veronica loves playing games, traveling, being a realtor, and spending time with her cat Juni.
LeVale Walker (Howard)
LeVale graduated from Central Michigan University with a BFA in Musical Theatre, where he performed in shows such as Dancing at Lughnasa (Brian Friel) and Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 (Anna Deavere Smith). Walker spent his college days acting, directing, and performing in improv & a cappella groups. Since then, he has performed in shows like Twelfth Night and Something Rotten with Festival 56.
Maria Hollobaugh (Eileen)
Maria is thrilled to be involved in this delightful show with such a great group of people! This is her second show with PTD, having previously appeared as a Patron (and worked as a last-minute stage manager) in The Artwork is Behind You. Outside of PTD, you may have more recently seen her as Trania in The Taming of the Shrew with Brevity Shakespeare, as Florence in The Odd Couple (Female Version) with Chelsea Area Players, or as Dolores in The Brain that Wouldn't Die with Star Jelly Performance Company. When she's not on stage, she works as a clinical research coordinator at U of M hospital and enjoys quiet nights in with her dog (Phoebe), cat (Aly), and fiancé (Jacob).
Eƶra Korycinski (Paul)
No longer auditioning for shows as a bit, Eƶra is on his "5th or something" outing with PTD Productions. He's done other theatre stuff including It's A Wonderful Life, Loving Lives, and The Odd Couple (Female Version). All gratitude goes to his friends, fiancée, and felines.
Adam Weakley (Richard)
This is Adam's 12th show with PTD. He’s happy to be back on stage after 3 years with some old friends, some new ones, having a lot of fun playing a small part of this wonderful show. When not onstage, he's usually backstage somewhere else working as lead technician for Mercury Sound and Light, or as technical director for Community Ensemble Theater. A special thanks goes to Ko for putting up with his absence during rehearsals (and for his presence otherwise). He loves summertime, and also loves pie!
