Hey, Pssst, Did You Hear About Neil Simon’s Rumors?
Broward Stage Door’s production proves Rumors may be one of the funniest Neil Simon plays you’ve never heard of. But it also underscores what your mother warned you: an unrelieved diet of the most delicious candy will eventually lose its punch.
Slow Burn’s Avenue Q Is An Irreverent And Joyous Winner
