SWCC drama club's first performance: "Rumors" by Neil Simon

If you’re looking to hear a juicy rumor, head to Southwestern Community College (SWCC) tonight.

Synopsis

Four high-profile couples attend an anniversary party at the home of a deputy New York City mayor and his wife. However, shortly after arriving, the guests discover that there are no servants, the deputy mayor has shot himself in the head (a flesh wound) and the mayor’s wife is missing.

Comedy ensues when, given everyone’s upper class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the events from the police and media while forming their own conclusions and opinions about what is happening around them.
