Auditions for Neil Simon’s play, “Rumors”, are being held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 30 and Tuesday, Oct. 1 at Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop. Described by Simon himself as an “elegant farce,” it was also his first farce. “Rumors” opened on Broadway in 1988 and ran for 535 performances.

So what’s “Rumors” about? Four couples are gathering for their friends’ 10th wedding anniversary celebration, but when the guests show up… well… things don’t go quite as planned. Someone’s missing, a car is damaged, something’s dropped in the toilet, someone wants to call the police — and there’s back pain involved.

There are 10 roles for adult men and women of varying ages. Anyone interested in performing can pick up a copy of the script from The Book Shelf located at 94 N. Trade Street, Tryon. Scripts can be checked out for 24 hours.

Performance dates are Nov. 14-17 and Nov. 21-24, 2013. The play will be directed by Debbie Craig-Archer, who directed “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” and “Clue”, two wonderfully received shows.
