Theatre Casting Call for "Rumors" Show

About the project: Prepare for an evening of laughter, intrigue, and clever twists with Neil Simon’s brilliant comedy, “Rumors.” Set against the backdrop of a lavish New York City townhouse, this uproarious play unfolds during a gathering filled with misunderstandings, miscommunications, and a whirlwind of gossip that spirals hilariously out of control. As the evening begins, a group of well-to-do friends arrives for a celebration that quickly turns into chaos when they discover that the host, Charlie, is nowhere to be found–and his wife, Myra is rumored to be in a precarious situation. With each character trying to navigate the escalating confusion, the ensemble brings to live a tapestry of quirky personalities, each with their own secrets and agendas. As they attempt to piece together the truth, the comedic misunderstandings multiply, leading to a series of outrageous and side-splitting situations.
