CONTENT advisory & AGE RECOMMENDATION
Rumors is a fast-paced, hilarious high-society farce packed with miscommunications, eccentric characters, and physical comedy. This production contains mature humor and themes, including brief discussions of infidelity, suicide/accidental injury, and political gossip. It also features frequent strong language (including the “f-word”), mild comedic violence, and the offstage sound of a simulated gunshot. Lakeshore does not “rate” productions, as sensitivities vary from person to person.
