Press Release

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre

Presents   Neil Simon's Rumors

May 9, 2005 :  Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will present Neil Simon's =
RUMORS, a zany adult comedy featuring a delightful group of everyday =
characters in bizarre circumstances.

The original play, produced on Broadway in 1988, ran for 535 =
performances with a star-studded cast including Christine Baranski.=20

Set in the upper class living room of host and hostess Charlie and Myra =
Brock on the evening of their 10th wedding anniversary party, the play =
opens with the arrival of guests, Chris and Ken Gorman (Chris White and =
Alex Nine), who are horrified and scandalized to find Charlie shot =
through the earlobe, Myra missing altogether and "the help" gone as =
well.

    As three other couples filter in, bringing with them cases of =
whiplash, car wreck trauma, back spasms, over the top "couple baby talk" =
and posh indifference, Ken and Chris spend the first act making up =
outrageous explanations for their hosts' absence, tripping about in a =
hysterical effort to keep the other guests in the dark. The act closes =
in an explosion of door-slamming, running, bashing about, shouting and =
flying dinner rolls.

    Ken is now deaf as a result of a second gun shot; Chris is drunk; =
Glenn and Cassie Cooper (Sue Cohen and Dick Szczepinski ) have fallen =
apart at the seams after a quartz crystal-induced fist fight; Cookie and =
Ernie Cusack (Yvonne Pilarczyk and Bob Fortlage) have burned and diced =
themselves trying to get dinner together in the kitchen; and Claire and =
Lenny Ganz (Theresa Benyo-Marzullo and Craig Peck) have convinced =
themselves and everyone else that the whole thing was the result of an =
affair of Charlie's or Myra's or both and that "the help" has run off to =
"somewhere in the Orient."

    With dust from the figurative and literal explosions settled, dinner =
plates, glasses and purses scattered about the stage, bodies draped over =
chairs and sofas, the second act begins. When two policemen arrive, the =
guests are forced to offer up an explanation they do not have. The party =
ends where it began, floating about in a puddle of rumors on a raft made =
of wisecracks and sidesplitting banter.
