The Newtowne Players announce open auditions for the upcoming production of Rumors, a comedy by Neil Simon. There are parts for five men and five women of all ages. People interested in helping with the technical and support crew are also welcome. The show runs Sept. 24 through Oct. 10, 2010.
Rumors features four couples who have gathered at the home of a deputy New York City mayor and his wife to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. The party never begins because the host has shot himself in the head (it’s only a flesh wound), and his wife is missing. His lawyer’s cover-up gets progressively more difficult to sustain as the other guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Hilarity abounds as the couples get more and more crazed.
Auditions will be held July 6 and 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the lobby of Three Notch Theatre on 21744 South Coral Drive in Lexington Park. Auditions will be readings from the script; no prepared material is necessary. If you cannot make these times but wish to work either onstage or backstage for this production, contact Director Dawn Weber at (240) 577-1933.
