Auditions for "RUMORS"

Red Curtain is excited to announce auditions for Neil Simon's high-society farce, Rumors, directed by David Alan Morrison, with performance dates of May 29-June 21, 2026. Performances are 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays, 2pm on Sundays.

Rehearsals will take place at Red Curtain Foundation in Marysville. General rehearsal times are Mon-Thurs, from 7-10pm. Additional rehearsals may be necessary and we ask the actors to list weekend conflicts.

Four wealthy couples arrive at a Sneden’s Landing townhouse for a dinner party celebrating the Deputy Mayor’s 10th anniversary, only to find the host has shot himself in a non-fatal, yet scandalous, incident. With the host bleeding upstairs, his wife missing, and no household staff, the guests frantically try to cover up the situation. As rumors fly and tensions rise, the evening descends into pure chaos, mistaken identities, and witty, chaotic absurdity.

Auditions will be held March 31 and April 1 from 6:00-9:00pm at the Red Curtain Arts Center (9315 State Ave unit J, Marysville, WA 98270). Callbacks will be announced later, if needed.

Please come prepared with a 1 to 1 ½ minute-long comedic monologue. Prefer monologue from a farce. During the monologue, please be prepared to show some physical movement. This can be as simple as traveling from a sitting position on the floor to standing, or finding a place in the presentation to walk swiftly.

Actors with improvisation training or experience are encouraged to apply. This is a community theatre production and actors are not paid.
