Rumors
by Neil Simon
directed by Lucas Verbrugghe
Performance Dates: March 5th - 15th, 2026

Rumors is a fast-paced whodunit that promises to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. When guests arrive at a dinner party to find the host unconscious and the hostess missing, panic and confusion take center stage. It’s high society gone hilariously wrong as cover-ups and misunderstandings spiral out of control. Come see this delightful romp through deception, decorum, and disaster!

No preparation is necessary for the auditions. Production crew is also needed to assist with scenery, costumes, props, lighting, and stage management. For more information, please e-mail lnearverbrugghe@mendocino.edu. 

Classes associated with the Fall 2025 production:

• Performance: THE 208 A-D
• Crew: THE 225 A-D
