The R.H.S Drama Club Presented Rumors!
From The Ridgewood Reporter December 1996 Issue
By: Laura Manrique On November 14th, 15th, and 16th , the R.H.S Drama club presented a
spectacular Neil Simon play called Rumors. Mrs. Lewandowski and the drama club worked on
putting this play together for months. They went from practicing for long hours after
school to set building on the weekends. The hard work really paid off because all of it
led up to a great play.
The cast of the play Rumors, Mary Ruth Brzezicki, Michael
Dicillo, Mike Favia, Angela Karcinski, Chris Mejia, Jessica Poyner, Danny Swibel,
Sanja Stevovic, Kristina Tunzi, Annette Tylka, Anna Wasilewski, and John Zukowski, all did
a wonderful job. All of the actors had equal parts.
The comedy, Rumors, was basically about four couples who are arriving at the house of
their closest friends, Charley and Myra, to celebrate their tenth anniversary. When they
all discover that Myra is missing, and Charley is passed out with a gunshot wound in his
ear, no one knows what happened. Rumors start getting out about Myra and Charley and
everybody else there. The rumors are mainly about bad politics, money, affairs, and other
relationship problems. They all had a night to remember figuring out the truth about the
rumors.
Rumors was an exciting, humorous, and unforgettable play. The set was a big part of the
play. It was two stories high and required a lot of time and technique to build. Danny
Swibel, one of the twelve cast members, said that although putting the play together was a
lot of hard work and dedication, he really had a great time getting to know everyone. He
said "This was the best cast that I have ever worked with!"
