OCC Theatre presents Neil Simon's-The Odd Couple

This classic comedy opens with a group of the guys assembled for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Ungar who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 22 and Saturday, Oct. 23. An afternoon show will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 24. Dinners will be held before the Friday and Saturday shows at 6 p.m. The menu includes: Chicken Monterey, loaded mashed potatoes, Asian vegetable blend, jellied cranberry salad, dinner roll with honey butter, vanilla éclairs with chocolate drizzle and beverage.
