One weekend remains to catch 🎭 Lee St. Theatre's "Rumors" written by Neil Simon! It's a performance you will not want to miss right here in Salisbury, N.C.!

🎭 Lee St. Theatre Presents: "Neil Simon's Rumors" - Final Shows Jan. 23-25
📍 Lee Street theatre, Salisbury, N.C.

"At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it's only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock's self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity."
