Way Off Broadway Announces Cast for Neil Simon's Rumors

Way Off Broadway Theatre revealed its cast for Neil Simon’s Rumors on January 4, 2026, naming local actors to key roles as director Jessica Scott and the ensemble move into rehearsals and promotional preparation. The comedy, described by the company as fast-paced and quick-witted, will feature Evan Scott as Ken, Lilly Farnsworth as Chris, Mark Sanders as Lenny, Amy Medeiros as Claire, Rodney Winter as Ernie, Janie Allred as Cookie, Gage Parr as Glenn, Blair Berry as Cassie, and Jeremy Berry as Officer Welch.

The announcement sets the timetable for ticket sales, with single tickets scheduled to go on sale January 12. The Prattville Way Off Broadway organization is also offering season-ticket packages; information and purchases are available at cityofprattville.thundertix.com. Those options create pathways for regular attendance and financial support that help sustain local performing arts programming.

Local theatres like Way Off Broadway serve as cultural anchors for Autauga County, providing entertainment, volunteer opportunities, and economic spillovers to nearby businesses on performance nights. A well-cast production of a familiar playwright such as Neil Simon can draw returning patrons and new audiences, strengthening the theatre’s role in the community calendar. For performers and crew, productions also bolster local arts infrastructure by creating short-term employment and training opportunities.

Prattville residents should note that the announcement reflects active preparations rather than final performance dates, and additional details about show schedules and ticketing locations will likely accompany the January 12 ticket release. Season-ticket packages offer an alternative for frequent attendees who want to support multiple productions and lock in seats in advance.

As rehearsals and marketing ramp up under Scott’s direction, community stakeholders—including local businesses, schools, and civic organizations—have opportunities to engage through sponsorships, group outings, or volunteer involvement. Attendance and ongoing support of the season will directly influence the theatre’s capacity to program future seasons and maintain community arts offerings.
