Maine Edge includes ‘Rumors’ in roundup of local fall theatre

The Maine Edge previewed a University of Maine School of Performing Arts production of “Rumors,” a classic farce by Neil Simon, in a roundup of local fall theatre events. A group of friends is assembling to celebrate the 10th wedding anniversary of Charley and Myra Brock — but Charley has been shot in the ear, and Myra and the kitchen staff are nowhere to be found. Ken and Chris try to keep the situation in check, but it quickly unravels as the other guests arrive. Directed by Julie Arnold Lisnet, the show runs Oct. 18–27, the Maine Edge reported.
