Rumors
Costa Mesa Playhouse continues its 51st season with Neil Simon’s comedy, Rumors, running April 8 through May 1, 2016.
In 1988 Neil Simon was going through difficult times and needed to cheer himself up, so he wrote his first farce, Rumors. It is the Deputy Mayor of New York, Charley Brock, and his wife Myra’s 10th wedding anniversary party, but when the first guests arrive, they find Myra missing and an unconscious Charley, “accidentally” shot in the ear. Hoping to avoid a scandal, they try to cover up what they assume to have happened, but when the rest of the guests arrive, rumors abound, confusions and mis-communications mount, and the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
Rumors is directed by Kyle Myers and stars Justin Murphy, Christine Cummings, Michael Canas, Emily MacAgy, Robert Moniz, Janet McGregor, Mark Tillman, Victoria Serra, Randy Brownfield and Alexandra Moniz.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 p.m.
