Rumor(s) Has It

In the mood for dinner and a show? Head to Enid’s Gaslight Theatre for the premiere of its 2020-21 season with Rumors, a farcical Broadway show by Neil Simon that tells a tale of mystery and miscommunication. The show includes adult content and language. All staff, volunteers, and patrons are required to wear a mask in the lobby, bathrooms, auditorium, and box office areas. Masks will be available if patrons inquire. September 17-19. Admission, $8-$18. (580) 234-2307 or gaslighttheatre.org

The show will be displayed at Eufaula Main Street Studio where patrons can browse and purchase works by local artists. September 19-October 20. Admission, Free. (918) 689-2791 or eufaulaareaarts.org
