Neil Simon’s RUMORS at The Star Theatre

What: Join Star Theatre Company for a productions of Neil Simon’s Comedy “RUMORS”. In 1988, Neil Simon needed to cheer himself up. The solution was a farce in two acts, set in Palisades, that shows a dinner party gone topsy-turvy. An enjoyable romp that has been staged all over the world, this is one of Simon’s most celebrated comedies. But it carries a subtle undercurrent of sadness, which becomes clearer when we set it alongside the events of the playwright’s life. Rated:  PG-13
