Macon Little Theatre’s production of “Rumors” opened on February 5 and brought the audience to its feet on all three shows. A talented cast under the direction of Chuck NeSmith displayed its comic timing and breakneck pace to three hungry audiences and left everyone fully satisfied. M. Jared Carson and Betsey Brindger (as Ken and Chris Gorman) open the show setting the table with hints and suppositions about just what is going on at this anniversary dinner party. Adding to the confusion is the arrival of Chris Ikner and Ashley Carson (as Lenny and Clair Ganz) who are suffering the effects of an accident in their new BMW. Compounding the menu of chaos are Billy Bishop and Laura Bechtel (as Ernie and Cookie Cusack) who add to the current rumors and create new comic situations. When the antics of these three couples has the comedy pot boiling, the mixture is further spiced by the arrival of Bryson Holloway and Colby Atkins (as Glenn and Cassie Cooper) who bring their personal bickering to further complicate the plot. Just before this mirthful miasma bubbles over, David Lintz and Eddie Smith (as Officer Welch and Officer Pudney) show up to serve up a solution to the entire smorgasbord of lies, deceit and confusion. “Rumor” is a complete meal. Under the direction of Chef Chuck NeSmith, these ten tasty actors provide a wholesome dose of comedy far exceeding the minimum daily requirement of laughter and fun. The set itself is a centerpiece to enhance any table. Designed and constructed by Chuck NeSmith, John Daniel and Felder Frederick, it could actually be rented out between performances. Leonard Boswell’s light design and Tommy Knight’s light board services highlighted the action and enhanced eye appeal. Richard Jeter provided just the right sound effects at just the right times to suspend all disbelief. Making sure all elements blended for the perfect soufflé of entertainment was stage manager, Danielle Thuen assisted by Elizabeth Warren.
