Laguna Blanca School Theatre Arts department will present Neil Simon’s comedy Rumors at 7 p.m. Jan. 11-12 and 2 p.m. Jan. 13 in Spaulding Auditorium, 4125 Paloma Drive.

Under the direction of Dana Caldwell, Laguna Blanca’s performing arts theater instructor, Simon’s 1988 Tony Award-winning play takes a routine tenth anniversary party for the deputy mayor of New York and adds quirky friends, missing persons, indistinct clues, gunshots, and botched cover-ups.

Rumors fly as the party-goers get deeper and deeper into chaos — and oh, is that the police at the door?

Laguna Blanca invites the community to attend the performance as cast and crew host an evening of poor judgment, mistaken identity, scandal, and a temporary case of hearing loss that keeps audiences in stitches. The show includes mature content.
