The Wartburg Players, a student-run theater organization, will perform “Rumors” on April 4 and 5.

The shows begin nightly at 7:30 p.m. in McCaskey Lyceum. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids and free for Wartburg students with an ID.

“Rumors,” by playwright Neil Simon, follows four couples at an anniversary party for their best friends, Charley and Myra. However, Myra is missing and Charley has been shot. The couples comedically try, and fail, to contain the situation.

The show opened on Broadway in November 1988 and ran for 535 performances. Christine Baranski won a Tony for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play for her role in “Rumors.”
