Theatre Westminster presents Neil Simon's "Rumors" Thursday-Saturday, May 4-6, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 7, at 2:30 in Beeghly Theater.

"The play is set in May 1988 in an affluent neighborhood outside of New York City," said John Gresh, visiting assistant professor of theatre and director of the play.  "The farce takes place inside the home of Deputy Mayor of New York Charley Brock and his wife, Myra, where they are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary.  When the guests arrive, they discover that Charley has been shot, though not seriously, and Myra is nowhere to be found.  No one knows what has happened, but as more and more people arrive rumors and speculation take over.  The comedy is in the unraveling the truth from the lies.  This play is guaranteed to induce laughter."

To reserve tickets, call the Beeghly Box Office and leave a message with your name, number of tickets, and preferred date.  Adults tickets are $7; non-Westminster students and senior tickets are $5.
