Northeast Texas Community College theatre to present ‘Rumors’

Theatre Northeast will present the laugh-a-minute farce ‘Rumors’ by Neil Simon, at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on the Northeast Texas Community College campus, April 24, 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and April 27 at 2:05 p.m.
One of Neil Simon’s most popular comedies, ‘Rumors’ takes place in the posh suburban residence of New York’s Deputy Mayor, Charley Brock who, at the beginning of the play, is lying off-stage with a bullet hole in his earlobe. This puts a slight crimp in the plans for the 10th wedding anniversary party for himself and his equally absent wife, Myra. As the guests arrive, each couple tries to keep each new arrival from finding out about Charley’s possible suicide attempt. The confusion is not helped by the plethora of rumors about Charley, Myra and most of the guests.
Rumors opened on Broadway in 1988 to rave reviews and ran for 535 performances. Clive Barnes, drama critic for New York Post wrote: “Broadway has something to cheer about again. This maze of mendacity is light, frothy and fun!”
