The Upcoming Theatre Play "Rumors" Seeks Talent
Looking to cast talent for the "Rumors" show. Find the details below. About the project: At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it's only a flesh wound, Ken Gorman's self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of Farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Ken lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Chris is nowhere in sight. Chris and their lawyer, Ken, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. Additional info: Please come prepared with a list of calendar conflicts for the director as well as a short comedic monologue or to read from the script. Performance Dates: January 13-15 and 20-22 Directed by Stephen Rhodes If interested, please apply.
