Auditions for Three Brothers Theatre’s February Show Rumors by Neil Simon will be held on November 9th from 1-5pm in Waukegan at their theatre 221 N Genesee Street. Please prepare a monologue and be ready to cold read from the script. Self-tapes are accepted as well!
ABOUT RUMORS
When a group of wealthy friends gather at a dinner party to celebrate their hosts’ anniversary, they arrive to find the host wounded, his wife missing, and no clear explanation of what happened. To protect their reputations and avoid scandal, the guests concoct wild cover stories, each lie spiraling further out of control. As more couples arrive, the chaos builds, creating a tangled web of misunderstandings, slapstick moments, and razor-sharp wit. The play is a fast-paced farce that skewers vanity, gossip, and the absurd lengths people go to keep up appearances.
