The guests may have left… but the living room is about to get a whole lot wilder.

This Saturday, August 8, the Queen Bs are taking over the Rumors set at Parker Players Theater for one night of completely improvised comedy! Every scene is made up on the spot, inspired by your suggestions, so no two shows are ever the same.

If you loved the laughter of Rumors (or missed your chance to see it), here’s one more opportunity to step back into that iconic living room—this time with five hilarious improvisers creating the chaos.

🗓 Saturday, August 8
📍 Parker Players Theater
🎟 Get your tickets now and join us for a night where absolutely anything can happen!

As we close the door on Neil Simon’s Rumors, our hearts are full.

What an incredible journey. Nearly every performance sold out, the theater echoed with laughter night after night, and audiences reminded us why live theater is unlike anything else.

To everyone who joined us—thank you for sharing your evenings, your laughter, and your enthusiasm with us. Your support allows us to continue creating intimate, artist-driven theater right here in our community.

To our remarkable cast, director Julie Price, designers, crew, stage management, volunteers, and every person who worked behind the scenes: thank you for your passion, generosity, and artistry. You made this production unforgettable.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make Rumors such a memorable success.

Until the next curtain rises… thank you for helping us Experience the Connection. ❤️🎭

You know that feeling when one tiny lie turns into twenty?

Neil Simon wrote an entire evening around that idea.

And somehow…
every new lie is funnier than the last.

Finally...Someone is asking the right questions.

Every great farce eventually needs the police.

Officer Welch and Officer Pudney arrive just when things couldn’t possibly get any more ridiculous…and yet? Things get even more ridiculous.

Come see why!
