BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Get ready for an evening of non-stop laughter and classic comedy chaos. Tickets are now on sale for Bucyrus Little Theatre’s production of Neil Simon’s Rumors, a beloved farce that’s guaranteed to leave audiences in stitches.
Sponsored by Trustwell Living Carlisle Place, this fast-paced show brings together mistaken identities, wild misunderstandings, and the kind of escalating absurdity that only Neil Simon could craft so perfectly.
What’s Rumors All About?
The story unfolds in a luxurious Sneden’s Landing townhouse during what was supposed to be a celebratory party for four wealthy couples. But when the host, New York Deputy Mayor Charlie Brock, ends up with a self-inflicted gunshot wound (just a flesh wound, thankfully), and his wife Myra mysteriously vanishes, panic sets in. Hosts Ken and Chris Gorman scramble to cover up the incident before the other guests arrive, but every attempt to keep things under control only spirals into more hilarious confusion and farcical mayhem. Lies pile on lies, accusations fly, and the evening devolves into pure comedic gold.
Directed by Jason Chandler, the talented local cast includes:
● Ken Gorman – Joe Loftis
● Chris Gorman – Liz Schryer
● Lenny Ganz – Scott Leon Smith
● Claire Ganz – Karellyn Sterling
● Ernie Cusack – Jim Messenger
● Cookie Cusack – Emma White
● Glenn Cooper – Chris Collins
● Cassie Cooper – Kristie Chandler
● Officer Welch – Justin Beck
● Officer Pudney – Zabrina Zucker
With sharp dialogue, impeccable timing, and a talented ensemble, this production promises to deliver the witty, door-slamming energy that has made Rumors a fan favorite for decades.
