PORT ST. LUCIE \u2014 You are invited to an anniversary party at Treasure Coast Theatre.<\/p>\n
\u201cRumors,\u201d a hilarious farce by Niel Simon, opens Nov. 6 at the intimate theater.<\/p>\n
The two-act dark comedy is centered around a 10th wedding anniversary party for New York\u2019s Deputy Mayor.<\/p>\n
The play opens as the party is about to begin. However, the deputy mayor lies bleeding in his bedroom from a gunshot, and his wife is nowhere in sight. The first power couple to arrive scramble to get the story straight before the other guests arrive.<\/p>\n
Fearing a massive political and social scandal, subsequent arriving couples also get roped into an escalating cover-up.<\/p>\n
As confusion and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into a no-holds-barred farce.<\/p>\n
The cast features local actors Chris Damone; Katherine Vasiliou; Kiersten\u00a0Peterson; Austin Parriott;\u00a0Angela Anderson Knittel; Gary York; Saul Bronstein; Rosemary Knight; Zach Hoge; and\u00a0Barbara Goycochea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
