Brought To You By City Park Players ~ Oct. 16-26, Hearn Stage
What do you get when you mix a fancy dinner party, a missing host, a gunshot, a double-helping of lies, and a whole lot of neuroses? A farce so fast-paced it’ll make your head spin faster than a politician caught in a lie! When New York’s elite gather for an anniversary party, things go hilariously off the rails as the first guests arrive to find the host shot (but not dead!), the hostess missing, and absolutely no one willing to call the police. Instead, they do the only logical thing: cover it up—and badly.
Expect slamming doors, mistaken identities, and enough escalating chaos to make your family Thanksgiving look like a Zen retreat. Neil Simon’s “Rumors” is a high-octane comedy where the secrets are juicy, the lies are plentiful, and the truth doesn’t stand a chance. Advisory: Strong language, Adult themes.
