Unless, of course, it is trying to con )\ ceal a possible attempted suicide of the deputy mayor of New York I from his closest friends and the police. The St. Edward's Hall Players will open Neil Simon's critically acclaimed farce, "Rumors," tomorrow night. The show is one of fran tic energy and split-second timing, a challenge to which the St. Edward's Hall Players rise with gusto. "Rumors" takes place on the evening of the deputy mayor of New York's anniversary with his wife Myra. When the first of his guests, Ken and Kris Gorman (played by senior Kevin Dwight, and sopho- more Trish Gilbert) arrive they find the deputy mayor, Charley, shot through the earlobe and barely conscious and Myra suspiciously absent from the house. As Charley's lawyer, Ken decides it is best to conceal the incident II from the other guests. Unfortunately, the next couple, Lenny and Claire Ganz (played by sophomores Ryan Greene and Cheryl Turski) stumble upon the Gormans' plan and arc drawn into the decep tion. The four construct a cockamamie story, try ing to stall Charley's C.

Lie stacks upon lie until the police arrive and the group is forced to do some quick thinking to save their friend and themselves. r "Rumors" is a show that relies almost l entirely on the chemistry between the cast. I' i· The production's director, senior Matt Lee, rec I' ognized the importance of cast dynamic and insti ~ tuted a program to better acquaint his actors. Lee, the first non-St. Edward's Hall resident to direct a St. I Edward's Hall Player's show, instituted a regime that he calls "cast ,;' dating," a program in which during each week of the seven-week ·I' ·) rehearsal process each cast member went on a date with another cast or crew member. Although most of the dates were casual out f ings like coffee at Acousticafe, watching a video or the infamous din I ing hall date, the cast felt that the program made them more com fortable around each other. "(Lee] helps you out where you need it, but he also give you a lot of freedom to do the role as you see fit. But he's also very clear when he wants it done a certain way. Off stage, especially, he's really gotten the cast together," Powers said. Powers auditioned for "Rumors" after being in a mock barbershop quartet at a Program of Liberal Studies talent show in October. Now bitten by the acting bug, Powers plans to be in a theatre show each semester until he graduates. "(The rehearsal process has] been really fun, I got to meet a new group of people I wouldn't have kno\\-n otherwise," Powers said. The cast definitely has a strong report with each other; a quality that they attribute to Lee for bringing out. "[Lee's directing] i5 the perfect combination of relaxed, easygoing ness and focused directing," Greene said. Beside the cast's chemistry, Lee feels that "llumors" has the added advantage of having a great script. Lee, a self-described Neil Simon C.SPENCER BEGGS/The Observer junkie, is no stranger to the playwright's wit and wisdom; Lee direct Eccentric cooking show host Cookie (Katie Mahoney) has a back spasm as her neurotic psy ed "Lost in Yonkers" last year for the Student Players. chatrlst husband Ernie (Mike Romano) looks on. ''[Simon] is as deep and brilliant as Arthur Miller and as witty as they come; he might even be the greatest comic playwright of [the THE OBSERVER Wednesday, January 30, 2002 page 13 ~veryt Players production of 'Rumors' 20th] century. I think Notre Dame needs to see more of his produc tions because they're easy to understand and yet they all have a pro found meaning," Lee said. Lee thinks that Simon does more than just entertain the audience in "Rumors," he also describes the complex nature of relationships and especially marriage. "I think the play is about the different stages in a relationship between a man and a woman. I think you can't necessarily see each couple [in the show] as having a complete relationship. I think you have to see each couple as being one of many facets that is inherent in any relationship . . . I think when you're in a relationship with some- body you go through all the stages that are presented in these couples," Lee said. Unfortunately, the St. Edward's Hall Players were not allotted very much money to produce their show. The group had to borrow many costume pieces and props as well as scrounge for a set. Senior Chris Sinnott, who designed and helped build the set, could only install one door in a farce that calls for six. The group improvised solu tions for anything that was lacking in the set, but the fact that the audience can see characters before their entrances is particularly distracting. It is a shame to see such a talented group \\ith such a good show have such limited resources with which to work. But what the cast of C. SPENCER BEGGS/The Observer "Rumors" lacks in Kris (Trish Gilbert) and Ken (Kevin Dwight) Gorman trying to work up a good story to fool Ernie, material assets they Cookie, Glen and Cassie. make up for in talent. Although many of the cast members are rela tively new or inexperi enced actors, all have developed characters that shine through; from the manic motions of Greene as Lenny to the charmingly drunk Officer Pudney (played by sopho more Megan Olive) and the stern reserve of Officer Welch (played by senior Ryan Kruegar). Although the acting is effective all around, two actors standout in their roles: Gilbert has a lightening quick sense of the show's timing and expertly places her off-handed one-liners with preci sion in the frantic show. Similarly, Turski's rapier wit and comical facial expressions make her character one of the most well developed and interesting. Turski's snide and sarcastic com ments are wickedly funny and a pleasure to watch. Both Gilbert and Turski play to their audience well and seem to be the most flexible and adaptive to their fellow actors on stage. The cast of "Rumors" knows the show inside and out, as is proven by their ability to rapidly push through their fast and precisely timed lines. But even the well-rehearsed timing and energy drops the ball on some of the humor Simon wrote into the show. Simon relies heavily on a stereotype of New Yorkers, especially Jewish New Yorkers, in the script of "Rumors;" it is unfortunate that this production does not try to produce the genre of comedy in which the author intended it. A few times in the show, jokes are lost or mud dled because this type of comedy is not employed, especially in some of Simon's more creative swearwords. Despite this short-coming, "Rumors" ends up being a strong show that will undoubtedly please audiences. "The student body desperately needs to laugh ... this is a nice con temporary, easy to understand piece that will just capture you and draw you in. You'll leave laughing," said Lee. He couldn't be more right. "Rumors" opens tomorrow night and plays through Saturday. All performances begin at 7:30p.m. in Washington Hall. Admission is $5. Tickets are on sale at the LaFortune Student Center Box Office and at the door. Call or visit the Box Office at (219) 631-8128 to reserve seats. C.

Sabre captain Andre Crompton believes that being a strong international recruiter should be a key criteria in picking the next head coach. ! "They need to have someone (' who is going to be vocal and knows how to recruit and bring people in here," he said. "If you !I look across the board [at the top fencing schools], that's what they are doing now. They are recruiting big and not spending the time to fine tune a fencer.
