are circulating!

“Rumors” begins when an evening gala is planned to celebrate the tenth Anniversary of Myra and Charley Brock. Guests are arriving two by two, but the host and hostess are nowhere to be found and, although the food is laid out in the kitchen, the cook is missing. Charley Brock, the deputy mayor of New York City, has shot himself through the earlobe. Is it an attempted suicide? Comic complications arise when the upper-crust guests do everything in their power to keep the evening’s events from the police and the press.

“Rumors” is directed by Lee Stubbs, who most recently directed “Mousetrap” at the Wimberley Playhouse and performed in “Rose’s Dilemma” and “Man of LaMancha.” Linda Addeo is producer and her most recent credit was producer of last season’s “Christmas Belles.” 

The cast of “Rumors” includes a number of familiar faces and several new ones. Whitney Marlett Mollahan last appeared on the Playhouse stage in “Christmas Belles.” Perry Redden also appeared in “Christmas Belles” and wowed the audience as Elvis.  Deanna Lalich most recently performed in the chorus of “Stop the World, I Want To Get Off.” Ted Kozlowski last appeared several seasons ago in “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks.”

Although newcomers to the Wimberley Playhouse, Carol and David Cain both have extensive backgrounds in all phases of live and recorded performances.  Other newcomers to the Playhouse are David Schneider (president of the Baker Gaslight Theatre in Lockhart), Cindy Forsyth and Rick Fitzgerald.
