Aurora Community Theatre's 50th season kicks off with Neil Simon's "Rumors."
The curtain will go up at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, this Friday through Nov. 21.
"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 and discovering 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.
"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."
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).
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.
