Upstage Theatre presents Neil Simon's uproarious comedy Rumors at Lambert Hall, 1703 Heights Blvd from May 9th through 24th.
Several affluent couples arrive at a party in an highly upper-class house in New York. When they get there, they discover that there are no servants, the hostess is gone, the host has shot himself through the ear lobe and is passed out upstairs. Adding to the mayhem, the host, Charley Brock, is deputy mayor of New York, so they all want to keep it quiet. However, when the police arrive, it is decided that someone has to play Charley and that's where the fun begins!
Directed by Dottie McQuarrie, performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm. Call 713-838-7191 for reservations.
