‘RUMORS’ will open ACTORS’ 63rd season The Ames Community Theater is thrilled to open season 63, A Killer Season, with Neil Simon’s “Rumors.” “Rumors” is Simon’s only classic farce with lots of doors, coming and going, fast lines and outrageous situations. It is one of the most popular shows for community theaters, and it is time that it comes to ACTORS. On Broadway, it was a Tony Award winner, and it will be a winner at ACTORS. “Rumors” is an example of how a story changes as it is told and retold.

develops a life of its own through coverups, deceptions and mistaken identities. Although they are the most sophisticated and elegant people of New York, the situations generate some very colorful and crude dialogue. When the police arrive, the guests fi nd themselves complicit in a cover-up that no one can follow. We are pleased to welcome three newcomers as well as seven veterans to the ACTORS stage in this 10-person cast. Stan Rabe (Ernie Cusack) has been involved in numerous ACTORS productions, both on and off stage.
Don Kom (Glenn Cooper) is another long time veteran of ACTORS and last performed as Franklin Hart in “9 to 5.” This is Seth Leving’s (Lenny Ganz) third production at ACTORS. Ruthellen Cunnally (Cookie Cusak) is a regular at ACTORS and was last seen as Doris in the “Cemetery Club.” Ben Smith (Officer Welch), was last seen in “9 to 5.” A’Ja Lyve (Claire Ganz) returns to ACTORS after “9 to 5.” Josh McCauly (Ken Gorman) was last seen in “The Murder Room.” Our newcomers to
ACTORS are Fallyn Lee (Cassie Cooper), Megan Kroeger (Chris Gorman), and Cindy Overton (Officer Pudney). Directed by V Dumas-Wines, who was last seen in The Cemetery Club, is in her directorial debut at ACTORS. She has been actively involved in theater in the Des Moines area for many years. “I had previously appeared as Cassie in a production of ‘Rumors,’” said DumasWines, “and I am thrilled to approach the show from a new perspective as the director. “I am enjoying working through the complications, complexity, and comedy with this talented cast.” Performance dates for “Rumors” are at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 20, 21, 22, 28, and 29. A single matinee performance will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided opening night.
