Fall Theatre Production: Rumors by Neil Simon

Directed by Trish B. Schmit
Davis Theatre

"America's premier comic playwright delighted audiences with this out-and-out funny offering. Four couples are at the home of the deputy New York City mayor and his wife to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. The party never begins because the host has shot himself in the head (it's only a flesh wound) and his wife is missing. His lawyer's cover-up gets progressively more difficult to sustain as the other guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Doors slam and hilarity abounds as the couples get more and more crazed." - Samuel French, Inc.
