Rumors Delights Audiences
Posted on 29 May 2010
The South Okanagan Amateur Players’ spring production of Rumors by Neil Simon earned good reviews and enthusiastic applause during its six night run April 15 – 17 (Oliver) and 22 – 24 (Osoyoos). “Delivers on fast-paced laughs … (with) rapid style, good timing, and convincing antics” summed up the Osoyoos Times reviewer, “a delight to watch”. Ted Osborne directed the production, with Christine Rothwell as stage manager.
Comments from the audience included “professional quality acting – as good as Vancouver”, ”gorgeous costumes”, ” lovely set”, “great dialogue delivery”, and most common: “hilarious – I couldn’t stop laughing”.
