Exit 82 Theatre Company is bringing Neil Simon's RUMORS to Downtown Toms River this spring with a modern twist on the hilarious comedy. Director Billy Cardone explains, "The comedy is written with a situational humor that is enjoyable and funny to everyone; almost like tuning into a sitcom on TV. The basis of the concept of our production of Rumors came from the question, 'why are we telling this story?' I like to begin every show with this question - in this case, I knew I wanted to make people laugh and help them escape for a while. I know when I need to escape I like to watch something mindless on TV. Here I can observe and even laugh at people in a situation that may just be a little bit more heightened and ridiculous than my own. Our cast delivers a hysterical, wild ride of a night that will allow anyone to leave all distractions at the door. The audience should be prepared to come and enjoy a night of comedy that will allow them to forget their own worries. Pack your favorite bottle of wine or six pack of beer and come join our houseguests for a dinner party that no one will forget. No one is flipping tables but it's sure to keep you entertained and laughing without any commercial breaks."
