Vanguard Theatre readies production of ‘Rumors’ Westminster Presbyterian’s Vanguard Theatre Company is poised to present Neil Simon’s classical farcical comedy “Rumors” through April 1 in Point Loma. The production, directed by Tom Haine, centers around four affluent couples gathered for a dinner party. They encounter comic complications after finding that the deputy mayor of New York City has shot himself through the earlobe. Was it marital violence?  Attempted murder?  A failed suicide?   As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. Performances are slated for March 16-18, March 23- 25, March 30-31 and April 1. Friday and Saturday performances take place at 8 p.m., while Sunday performances begin at 7 p.m. The shows take place at Westminster Theatre, located at 3598 Talbot St. General admission is $15, with tickets for students, seniors and military at $13.
