The two-story interior set piece for Rumors is one of the largest constructed for an ACHS drama production.

“Rumors,” a Neil Simon farce with an ensemble cast of 10 students, opens Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the ACHS auditorium. Rather than charging admission to the production, donations will be accepted. The productions runs through Saturday.
The plot revolves around four couples who, upon arriving for a dinner party, find that their host has been shot dead, and the hostess is nowhere to be found. Director Donna Shehorn said “Rumors” was selected partly because it is one of Simon’s most famous.
A two-story interior set piece represents one of the biggest used for an ACHS production, according to Shehorn, made possible by the new stage house and scene shop.
Before the curtain goes up officially, senior citizens will get a sneak peek at the play on Wednesday as part of student council’s Sharing Is Caring night. Dinner and music will precede a dress rehearsal performance for those in attendance. The annual night out for senior citizens is “our way of giving to the community,” explained student council sponsor Susan Shrader.
