Things aren’t what they seem when four prominent, successful couples arrive at the home of New York City’s deputy mayor and his wife, Charlie and Myra Brock, for a 10th wedding anniversary celebratory dinner party. They find Charlie wounded in bed. Myra is missing. And their marriage is not what it had appeared to be!
Regarded as one of acclaimed playwright Neil Simon’s most popular titles, Del Mar Drama presents their production of his uproarious farce, RUMORS, for a two-weekend run, Nov. 10-11 and Nov. 16-18, in the Sue Sellors Finley Theatre in the Fine Arts Center on Del Mar College’s Heritage Campus (101 Baldwin Blvd., 78404)
The production is the first farce performed by Del Mar Drama since the wildly successful The Ladies Man by Charles Morey in 2014, which Yowell also directed.
RUMORS features a small cast of 10 characters, all played by DMC students who have performed in previous Del Mar Drama productions. The cast includes Edwardo Alejandre, Brennen Bellows, Miguel Cerda, Alexa DeLeon, Mia Dobbins, Erin Heflin, Sam Howarth, Kimberly Porfirio, Chloe Spencer and Ethan Sullivan. And, their characters represent upper middleclass New York professionals, including a psychiatrist, an aspiring politician, an accountant and a trophy wife, so, audiences can expect to see a lot of glitter, metallics and shoulder pads on stage.
Rated PG-13 due to strong language, RUMORS starts at 7:30 p.m. each night with the Del Mar Drama Box Office opening at 6:30 p.m. Online advance ticket sales are now available at delmardrama.ludus.com/show_page.php?show_id=200441305 with ticket prices as follows: $10 general admission; $6 for seniors, military and DMC employees; and $3 for DMC students with a valid ID.
