WHS Theatre Company presents | Rumors

April 14, 2023

The Woodinville High School Theatre Company presents Rumors – a Comedy by playwright Neil Simon. To quote the playwright, "This play has no socially redeeming qualities, but you will laugh the whole way through." Rumors is a side-splitting farce.

Rumors is set in a large, tastefully appointed townhouse, where four affluent couples have all been invited to the 10th wedding anniversary dinner party for the Deputy Mayor of New York, Charley Brock, and his wife, Myra. Upon arrival, the first guests discover the hostess is missing, the servants have vanished, and the host has shot himself through the earlobe. Though it is only a flesh wound, the self-inflicted injury sets off a series of comic complications as the guests try to conceal the truth of the events from each other, the local police, and the media. As the confusion and miscommunications mount, the evening becomes classic farcical hilarity.

Due to its adult content, such as prolific adult language and innuendo, this show is not recommended for audiences under 14 years old or playgoers sensitive to swearing.

Performances are April 26 through 29. The curtain rises at 7 p.m. at the Woodinville High School Theatre.
