Neil Simon’s ‘Rumors’ opens in Kelseyville

Neil Simon’s ‘Rumors’ opens in Kelseyville

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Theatre Co.’s production of “Rumors” is now open at Gard Street Auditorium in Kelseyville.

“Rumors” will be the third in a string of classic presentations which included “Miracle on 34th Street” and “Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Written by Neil Simon, “Rumors” is sure to be another crowd pleaser for the Lake County audiences.

As those familiar with Neil Simon know, Simon is a master of subtle comedy that takes the life situations of normal individuals and makes them abnormally funny. “Rumors” is no exception.

The plot centers on a couple who is celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary by throwing a dinner party for their friends.

As the the guests arrive, they discover that the food has not been prepared, the couple is nowhere in sight and “somebody” may have shot “somebody” in the ear lobe.

How do close friends, business associates – and the police – react to such a scenario? Audiences will need to attend Gard Street School Auditorium on Gard Street in Kelseyville to discover the answers to these questions.

But another important note should be mentioned about the Gard Street School Auditorium. Until recently, loyal LCTC theater goers bravely seated themselves in metal folding chairs and tried to ignore that uncomfortable arrangement.

Then a “miracle” occurred. An anonymous donor gifted the theater company with over 100 comfortable, padded theater seats.

They have been installed at the Gard Street auditorium and are ready for a comfortable evening of theater entertainment.

The show will run from April 26 through May 12, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $15 for reserved, $12 for general and $2 less for students, seniors and LCTC members.

General and reserved tickets are available at Wildhurst Tasting Room in Kelseyville, 707-279-4302, and general seating tickets are available at The Party Shop in Lakeport, 707-263-7800, and can be purchased online at www.lakecountytheatrecompany.com .

For further information, feel free to call 707-279-2595.
