February 17-27, 2011 Neil Simon’s “Rumors” In Sarasota

players-theater-logoPlayers Theatre Presents Neil Simon’s “Rumors”.

As The Players Theatre season nears the end of its 81st season they will present Neil Simon’s “Rumors” February 17-27, 2011.

“Rumors” is a hysterical farce and is Simon’s 23rd play. In his second memoir, he stated, “I did not know a thing about the mechanics of farce until I got caught up in the endlessly intricate details of its machinery. For those foolhardy enough to test these white-water rapids, I’ll pass on a few hints I learned along the way and also give you the names of a few doctors who attended me after the battle was over.”

“Rumors” is a play about several affluent couples who gather in the posh suburban residence for a dinner party to celebrate the couple’s 10th anniversary. When they arrive, they discover there are no servants, the hostess is missing, and the host – the deputy mayor of New York City – has shot himself through the earlobe. Comic complications arise when, given everyone’s upper class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the evening’s events from the local police and the media.

Directed by Pam Wiley with assistance from Sage Hall, “Rumors” comical cast includes Michelle Teyke as Chris Gorman; Wil Horton as Ken Gorman; Donna Defant as Claire Ganz; Matt McCord as Lenny Ganz; Val McDaniel as Ernie Cusack; Laura Sommer Raines as Cookie Cusack; Raphael Petlock as Glenn Cooper; Crystal Schunk as Cassie Cooper; Jay Bowman as Officer Welch; and Bonnie Loebel as Officer Pudney.

Artistic Director Jeffery Kin remarked “The Players Theatre hasn’t produced a Neil Simon play in years…and we are LONG overdue! We are all excited to have this notable American Playwright’s work on our stage and the fact that it’s funny and timely…makes this production even better!”

The remaining season consists of two musicals (“The Producers”, and “Victor Victoria”) Single tickets are $25 for adults and $12 for students.
