Set in the seething underbelly of London’s East End, this masterpiece of epic theater pits the haves against the have-nots, while Macheath, the ultimate sneering anti-hero, perches in the middle of the storm.

Rumors
By Neil Simon. Directed by Christopher Dippel.
At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Farce. As confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. (Concord Theatricals)
Performed at the Joan and Donald Schaeffer Black Box Theater, Joseph G. Shapiro Family Hall, South Campus
April 28-May 1
