AN IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION ABOUT THE SHOW
Join David Garnes as he discusses LTM’s upcoming production of RUMORS with members of the cast and creative team.
Free and open to the public, Lunchtime Lectures offer an opportunity to learn about LTM’s productions, providing insights into the creative process, background information about the play, its production history, and the playwright, and much more about theatre and the arts. These discussions are an informal lecture style with an opportunity to ask questions after the chat.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
THE PARTY HAS BEGUN... BUT THE COVER-UP IS THE REAL SHOW!
Welcome to the anniversary party of the year! Four high-society couples have gathered at a luxurious New York townhouse to celebrate their hosts, the Deputy Mayor and his wife.
But when the first guests arrive, they find the host unconscious with a gunshot wound (thankfully, only a flesh wound!), the wife is missing, and the staff is nowhere to be found.
What follows is a brilliant, manic rush of confusion and miscommunication as the couples desperately try to invent an explanation before the next guests arrive. They find themselves trapped in a hysterical web of secrets, rumors, and mistaken identities. Get ready for a night of non-stop, glorious physical comedy and rapid-fire dialogue that only comedy master Neil Simon could deliver.
