Parker Players Theater Company

Parker Players Theater Company presents Rumors, Neil Simon’s wildly funny comedy of lies, panic, and social disaster, running July 17 through August 2 at Parker Players Theater in Barrington.
Set in 1988, Rumors begins with a wealthy New York couple’s anniversary party gone spectacularly wrong. The host is injured, his wife is missing, and the first guests on the scene are determined to keep the scandal under wraps. What follows is a fast-moving evening of cover-ups, mistaken assumptions, slamming doors, and increasingly outrageous attempts to avoid the truth.
Directed by Julie Price, Rumors showcases Simon at his comic best, blending sharp wit with escalating chaos and ensemble comedy.
Performances take place at Parker Players Theater, 540 W. Northwest Highway in Barrington. Tickets and information are available at parkerplayerstheater.org.

You've got your favorite firearms, now you can stock up on ammo and get those accessories you've been wanting!&nbsp;
At the center of this extensive auction is an impressive inventory of ammunition, ranging from thousands of rounds of modern range and sporting caliber ammo—including .22 Long Rifle, 9mm Luger, .223 Remington, and 12-gauge shells—to highly sought-after vintage and collector boxes like .32ACP and US Military surplus .45ACP. Beyond the ammunition cans, bidders will find an expansive selection of firearm accessories, including AR-15 builders kits, high-capacity and vintage rifle and pistol magazines for everything from Colt and Glock to AK-47s and M1 Carbines, and premium optics featuring Leupold scopes and Sig Sauer Romeo 5 red dot sights. The event also showcases a remarkable collection of hand-crafted knives from a local artisan along with vintage switchblade, butterfly, and lockback knives. Professional-grade leather gun belts and holsters, and magnificent taxidermy mounts—including a majestic full strut wild turkey and an upright ring-necked pheasant—culminating in a spectacular centerpiece: a non-firing, demilled M60 Machine Gun display gun.
Preview is Friday before the auction - noon-7pm.&nbsp;Pickup is by appointment. Please call 815-923-7000 to schedule.&nbsp;
