Gurney's 'Buffalo Gal' Concludes Limited Engagement at Primary Stages Tonight, 9/13

A.R. Gurney's play Buffalo Gal will end its run at Primary Stages as scheduled tonight, Sept 13th.

A.R. Gurney returned to Primary Stages with a comedy that centers around Amanda, a once successful television personality whose star is now fading.  Life imitates art as she returns to her hometown of Buffalo to star in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.  Just as she is connecting with her roots – both on stage and off – she is called back to Hollywood for a role that could recharge her career.  Will her love of theater be enough to keep her in Buffalo? 

Mark Lamos (Indian Blood) returned to Primary Stages to direct the six-member cast that featured Mark Blum (Twelve Angry Men) as Dan, Carmen M. Herlihy (The Piano Teacher) as Debbie, Jennifer Regan (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) as Jackie, Susan Sullivan (The Fourth Wall, “Dharma & Greg”) as Amanda, James Waterston (As You Like It, Shakespeare in the Park) as Roy, and Dathan B. Williams (Show Boat) as James.

A.R. Gurney, the author of Love Letters and The Dining Room, has given Primary Stages audiences the highly acclaimed The Fourth Wall, Strictly Academic, and the Outer Critics Circle Award-winning Indian Blood.

Andrew Leynse, Artistic Director, said, "We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Mark Lamos again.  His understanding and vision enable seamless, enriched productions that truly transport the audience into the world of the play."

The creative team includes Andrew Jackness (Set), Candice Donnelly (Costumes), Mary Louise Geiger (Lights), and John Gromada (Original music and Sound Design).  The Production Stage Manager is Matthew Melchiorre.
