Show Details
Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger.
Olive and their group of girlfriends enjoy their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. When Florence’s marriage falls apart, Olive invites her to move in. Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene.
Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene.
Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.
Actors should prepare a short monologue or poem from contemporary theater repertoire. Actors may also be asked to read from the script.
The Odd Couple will be directed by Becky Cummings. Cumming’s directorial debut for Upstage, You Can’t Take it With You, was nominated for several awards last fall.

The show will rehearse and perform at the Littleton Opera House. Rehearsals will begin August 28th and will take place most Wednesday and Thursday evenings as well as Sunday afternoons.
