Aspen Community Theatre Presents: Rumors by Neil Simon
BUY TICKETSNovember 15 @ 7:00 pm
Aspen Community Theatre (ACT) brings its fall production to the Wheeler Opera House. Performed and presented by your neighbors and friends, Neil Simon’s “Rumors” promises to be a night of farce and fun. “Rumors” contains adult language and themes.
At a tastefully appointed Snedens Landing home, the Deputy Mayor of New York has been shot on the night of his tenth wedding anniversary. Though it’s only a flesh wound, the incident sets off a series of events causing four couples to unite in a fast and furious experience of farce. As the first couple arrives for the party, they discover the Deputy Mayor bleeding in another room and his wife nowhere to be found. They scramble to “get their story straight” and protect their friend while maintaining the celebratory atmosphere. With each new guests’ arrival, the story layers evolve adding confusion and complexity resulting in an evening of classical farce hilarity.
“Rumors” marks ACT’s first non-musical theatrical production since 1999, a nod to their storied history as they gear up for a landmark 50th anniversary year in 2026. Learn more about ACT and support local theatre at AspenCommunityTheatre.org.
