 Rumors
July 16 - August 1
Little Carver Theater
226 N. Hackberry
At a large, tastefully appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken and wife Chris must get the story straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miss-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. www.therenaissanceguild.org
