The third show in SCP's 2005-2006 Main Stage Season will be Neil Simon's hilarious comic face RUMORS. Considered by many to be one of Simon's funniest scripts, audiences are sure to be in for a laugh-filled treat!
Four couples arrive at the townhouse of a daeputy New YOrk City mayor and his wife to celebrate the couple's tenth wedding anniversary, but the party never begins because the husband has shot himselfin the head - its only a flesh wound - and his wife seems to be missing.
Nobody knows what has happened, but because the deputy mayor is such a prominent figure, they think it's best to keep everything under wraps before the media gets wind ofit. Very soon the cover-up gest so difficult to sustain that nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Rumors run rampant as doors slam and hilarity abounds.
