Second Street Players announced auditions for the 2027 season opener, Rumors, by Neil Simon. The play opens January 29 at the Riverfront Theatre.
Director Tommye Staley will be holding open auditions from 7 to 9 PM on November 17 and 18 at the Riverfront Theatre, 2 South Walnut Street in Milford. The show is performed by a cast of ten with eight major roles – four females ages 30 to 60 and four males, ages 30 to 75. There are also two minor roles – two police officers, male or female, ages 25 to 55.
A dinner party turns into a comedic web of secrets when the first guest arrives to find their hosts completely unavailable. As more friends arrive, the coverups multiply and rumors fly! Rumors is a high-energy, escalating comedy about how far people will go to protect their friends and their own reputations.
Performance dates are Friday through Sunday, January 29, 30 31 and February 5, 6 and 7, 2027. To be considered for casting, those auditioning must be available for all performances. Any questions may be emailed to Staley.
