Heard it Through the Grapevine: McKeesport Little Theater, 1614 Coursin St., presents the comedy "Rumors" by Neil Simon, 8 p.m. today and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Capsule Review: Your humble correspondent and his dear, sainted mother took in a performance last weekend with a pretty big crowd. They've got a good cast --- the guy playing Ken Gorman, one of the key roles, is especially good --- and generally strong production values. I'm always amazed at how much action MLT manages to fit on that stage.
(Also: Dave James, former radio news anchor at KDKA (1020) and other stations, plays Dr. Glenn Cooper, another juicy part. I was waiting for him to boom out, "I'm Dave James," but he stayed in character!)
No credit cards are accepted. Call (412) 673-1100 or visit the website.

Send event listings, announcements, bouquets and brickbats (what the heck is a brickbat, anyway?) to jtogyer@gmail.com or Tube City Almanac, P.O. Box 94, McKeesport 15134. (Non-commercial events only, please!)
Will the Almanac endorse today or be soft like the Daily News? ;)
Thanks for all of your coverage of OUR Fair City!
