FALL PLAY, RUMORS, THIS WEEKEND ONLY!

Neil Simon’s Rumors will be produced October 5-7 in the newly renovated Christian Brothers University Theater. 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.

The show times for Rumors are Friday, October 5th at 8:00 p.m., Saturday, October 6th at 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, October 7th at 2:00 p.m. There is no charge for Christian Brothers’ students and faculty. Tickets for general admission are $5 and $2 for ANY college student or faculty member with ID. Tickets will be sold at the door, no reserved seating. For additional information, please email Burton Bridges, Encore Drama Club, at encore@cbu.edu.

T-shirts will be sold for a donation of $10 during performance intermissions.
