At Madeline Garden Bistro

Pasadena, CA

Directed by Annabelle Borke

Produced by Julie Burlington

​

413 Repertory Theater is thrilled to present a night of chaos, cocktails, and comedy with Neil Simon’s uproarious farce Rumors at the charming Madeline Garden Bistro in Pasadena, CA.

 

This fast-paced comedy of mistaken identities, outrageous cover-ups, and escalating hilarity follows four couples at an upscale dinner party where the host has mysteriously vanished, the hostess is unconscious, and nobody can keep their stories straight. As secrets unravel and rumors fly, the evening spirals into absurdity in classic Neil Simon style.

 

Set against the elegant backdrop of Madeline Garden, this immersive production transforms the bistro into a high-society home turned battleground of confusion. Guests will enjoy a delightful evening of live theater, witty banter, and perfectly timed chaos—all served with a side of scandal. Join us for a laugh-out-loud experience where the only thing more ridiculous than the truth… are the lies trying to cover it up.

​

​All admissions will include a full English high-tea meal with tea.
