Chaos unfolds at a New York dinner party and conflicting stories just make the situation worse in Rumors, a Neil Simon farce, the third show in Hanover Little Theatre's 69th season.

Just before his 10th wedding anniversary party, the Deputy Mayor of New York passes out from taking Valium after unsuccessfully trying to shoot himself in the head, and his wife is nowhere to be found. Their friends try to cover up the circumstances from arriving guests, but miscommunication and confusion only make things worse.
