THEATRE + COMEDY

UpStage Theatre presents The Odd Couple - by Neil Simon.  Directed by Doug Williams. July 17,18,24,25,31 ,August 1, 2009.

Felix Unger's wife has just given him the boot, and since his suicide attempts were a flop, he finds refuge in the sloppy apartment of his long time friend Oscar Madison, a recently divorced man himself. Together with their friends Murray the Cop, Speed, Roy and Vinnie, they all try to cope with the trials of marriage and divorce by playing poker, drinking beer, and complaining to each other. Living with the slovenly, dumpy Oscar is no picnic and living with Felix is like living with a permanent maid!

To escape the hum-drum life of two newly separated bachelors, Oscar introduces Felix to the "Pigeon" sisters, Gwendolyn and Cecily. What should have been a cozy evening for four turns into a pity party with enough tears to fill a highball glass! As tempers rise, Oscar kicks Felix out and ironically sends him into the coddling arms of the Pigeon Sisters.
