Ashlee White is making her directorial debut with SCP. She has been anxious for audiences to see this hilarious show since she played the role of Claire Ganz many years ago.  “It’s been a secret passion of mine to direct since I was in high school. … The cast of Rumors is a well-rounded group of talented thespians who make me laugh, and make me proud, every day. I appreciate their dedication and hard work more than I can express,” said White.

Hannah O’Connell, a new face to the Springfield community of theatergoers, plays the part of Chris Gorman. She said, “I feel like I’ve not only gained new skills and great memories, but a whole new messed up family!”

This show is not recommended for young audiences due to adult language and content.
