Students Star in Dinner Theater
Production of Simon's Rumors

CMC theater troupe Under the Lightsbetter known on campus as UTLwill present a dinner theater production of Neil Simon's comedy Rumors at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum, with performances running Wednesday, April 9 through Friday, April 11. Dinner begins at 6 p.m.; reservations are required and may be made through the Athenaeum. Unlike most Ath events, seating will not be available for those who wish to view the performance only.
Each spring, the Athenaeum's interior is transformed into a world of thespians, with all the comedy, drama, and passion concomitant with their trade. This time, the Athenaeum is pleased to once again welcome Under the Lights, benefiting this year from the leadership of Julian Dormady '08 and Bradley Walters '08. The troupe's Dinner Theater production of Rumors (1988) promises to follow in the popular footsteps of UTL's past performances. Rumors begins with an anniversary party thrown by a prominent New York couple. However, when guests begin arriving, they discover that the host has been shot in the ear and the hostess is nowhere to be found. The play follows the pretentious socialites as they try to figure out what happened and simultaneously cover up the scandal, providing the backdrop for Simon's clever and comical dialogue.
The all-student cast, under the capable direction of Walters, consists of: Alexandra Aznar '08, Naomi Bagdonas '09, Alex Hwang '08, Cicily Keppel (HMC '11), Julia Masnik '08, Brendan Sasso '10, Evan Sippel '08, and Skipp Stillwell '09.
