FALL PLAY ANNOUNCED: RUMORS
Neil Simon's Rumors will be produced October 5-7 in the Christian Brothers University Theatre. Audition dates will be announced in August to fill 10 roles. In addition, sign-up information will be available for those interested in being a part of the crew. Course credit will be offered up to 3 credit hours for those interested in signing up for the theatre production workshop class, which will be in conjunction with the fall play. Rumors, a hilarious comedy by Neil Simon, is about four couples visiting the townhouse of a deputy New York City mayor and his wife to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. The New York socialites get more than they bargained for when they find the host of their party has been shot. And the help is missing. The setting soon becomes a frenzy as other guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what about whom.
