THE PARTY HAS BEGUN... BUT THE COVER-UP IS THE REAL SHOW!
Welcome to the anniversary party of the year! Four high-society couples have gathered at a luxurious New York townhouse to celebrate their hosts, the Deputy Mayor and his wife.
But when the first guests arrive, they find the host unconscious with a gunshot wound (thankfully, only a flesh wound!), the wife is missing, and the staff is nowhere to be found.
What follows is a brilliant, manic rush of confusion and miscommunication as the couples desperately try to invent an explanation before the next guests arrive. They find themselves trapped in a hysterical web of secrets, rumors, and mistaken identities. Get ready for a night of non-stop, glorious physical comedy and rapid-fire dialogue that only comedy master Neil Simon could deliver.

What is the plot, and is it appropriate for all ages?
Rumors is a classic farce about a series of cover-ups after a non-fatal shooting at a party. While wildly funny, it contains mature themes and some mild language. We recommend this production for Ages 13 and up.
What is the running time?
The performance typically runs approximately 2 hours, including one 15-minute intermission. A more specific time will be available closer to opening night.
