The Odd Couple
by Neil Simon
January 27 - February 19, 2017
Synopsis
One title, a couple of versions.
Two suddenly single pals, diametrically opposites, strain their friendship by turning roommates and unconsciously repeating the same mistakes they made in the marriages they just left. Alternating casts (one starring an odd female couple and one featuring a male couple) present this classic story of two mismatched friends.
The male version is the basis for the launch of the 1968 movie, The Odd Couple, which became a franchise name on television in the late 60s and 70s. The female version is staged 20 years later in 1985, and follows the same story line as the male version.

Our Artistic Responsibility
We are dedicated to producing high quality and award-winning works popular in the community as scripted. We provide shows for all interests and tastes, but not every show is for everyone. It is a violation of Federal copyright statutes and strict show licensing agreements to change a single word in script, cut scenes, and change playwright-mandated intent, blocking, choreography and music orchestrations. We respect our community, the artist’s who dedicate their life to their work and the our community’s laws.
