About the show

The truth about “Rumors” is that the laughs could kill you. A perfect Neil Simon farce if ever there was one. Four couples are at the home of a NY City Deputy Mayor and his wife for their anniversary party. But the host has been injured by a gunshot and his wife is missing. So, the guests, ever mindful of the impact of bad publicity, decide to cover up what just happened – whatever that may have been. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

Creative Theatre - Muddy Water Players, Inc. is an incorporated, non-profit organization that has been performing in the mid-Hudson since 1978.
