"Rumors," a comedy written by Neil Simon, could qualify as a glimpse into almost anyone's idea of a brief visit to Purgatory? Or, the evening's cascading consequence of events may be a slice of life amongst friends who share surprises well off the map of their plans.
The plan was to attend a 10th anniversary celebration in an upscale
neighborhood.
Those intentions head south as a pistol shot opens the first act of the play.
What follows is a comedic romp through friendships, troubled relationships, accusations, a car accident, a shooting and an unexpected visit by the police.

Director, Dennis Wemm, said the play was a process of discovery for
everyone.
One persistent underlying question in the script, Wemm said, is "When
is it OK to tell a white lie to get you past the next crisis in your life -- and when shouldn't you do that."
"Rumors" opened at GSC's administration building auditorium Monday
evening. Two additional performances will be held Friday and Saturday night. Curtain time is 7 p.m. Due to mature content and language it is recommended no one under 16 attend the production.
Admission is $3 for students, $5 for everyone else.
