Tickets go on sale Dec. 1 for the Department of Theatre Arts performance of "Rumors."[/caption]
UW-L's Department of Theatre Arts will perform Neil Simon’s comedy “Rumors” at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5-6, and Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 11-13, in Toland Theatre, Center for the Arts. Matinee performances are at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 6 and 7.
The award-winning playwright Neil Simon’s play is a fast-paced comedy filled with lies, cover-ups and a bleeding earlobe. The play follows four couples attending a dinner party in celebration of the New York City deputy mayor and his wife’s 10th wedding anniversary. Mystery arises when the guests discover there are no servants, the hostess is missing and the deputy mayor has shot himself in the ear.
Comedic complications develop as the upper-class guests decide they must do everything in their power to conceal the evening’s events from the media. As the evening progresses, inevitable confusion and miscommunication result in classic farcical hilarity.
Tickets go on sale at 1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1. Box Office hours are 1-4:30 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. Saturdays, and one hour before show times. Tickets are $5 for students, $14 for other students and senior citizens, and $16 for others. For more information call the box office at 608.785.8522.
