The comedy “Rumors” by Neil Simon will open Aurora Community Theatre’s
golden anniversary season. The show opens Oct. 30 and runs through Nov.
21. In the play, four sophisticated couples try to get their story
straight after arriving for dinner at the home of the New York City
Deputy Mayor, to discover their host is shot and their hostess is
missing.</div>

<p>Aurora Community Theatre's 50th season kicks off with Neil Simon's
"Rumors."</p>
<p>The curtain will go up at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays Oct. 30
through Nov. 21. </p>
<p>"Rumors"
takes a look at what happens when four sophisticated couples try to get
their story straight after arriving for dinner at the home of the New
York City Deputy Mayor, to discover their host is shot and their
hostess is missing. Comic complications abound when everyone tries to
manage the message and conceal the evening's events from local police
and media. </p>
<p>"It was Sir Walter Scott who declared 'what a
tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive,'" director
Barbara L. Rhoades said. "However, he forgot to say how very funny it
can be as well. So, Neil Simon corrected that oversight when he wrote
this wonderful American farce."</p>
<p>The upscale drawing-room comedy
features a talented cast: Eric Oswald (Lenny Ganz); Jen Klika (Claire
Ganz); Adam Young (Ken Gorman); Chris White (Chris Gorman); Michael
Green (Glenn Cooper); Tari Lyn Bergoine (Cassie Cooper); Kathy Steiner
(Cookie Cusack); Mark Moore (Ernie Cusack); Sharon Brandon (Officer
Welsh); and Deb Young (Officer Pudney).</p>
<p>Marianne Paul is
producer, while Towar Vilas serves as both assistant director and stage
manager. Young will manage props in addition to her onstage role. Don
"Arbie" Arbuckle led ACT's construction team: Tom Dean, Greg Fetzer,
Mark Howard, Bernie Keister, Bob Levy and Daniel White. Fetzer oversees
both lighting and sound with assistance from Zach Wells and Marcy
Sykes, while Jean Arbuckle contributed her creative flair to set
decoration. Adding their talents to a successful show are Dorothy
Edwards, house manager, Linda Balwinski, program coordinator and Vicki
Rizzo Prato, hospitality.</p>
<p>Tickets at $16 for adults, $11 for youth 18 and under, are available
online, including seat selection, at <a
