Plays and Player’s Presents a reading of The Odd Couple
Come see our take on Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple”! Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat freak news writer (a photographer in the television series), is thrown out by his wife and moves in with his friend Oscar Madison, a slovenly sportswriter. Despite Oscar’s problems – careless spending, excessive gambling, a poorly kept house filled with spoiled food – he seems to enjoy life. Felix, however, seems utterly incapable of enjoying anything and only finds purpose in pointing out his own and other people’s mistakes and foibles. Even when he tries to do so gently and constructively, his corrections and suggestions prove extremely annoying to those around him. Oscar, his closest friend, feels compelled to throw him out after only a brief time together, though he quickly realizes that Felix has positively affected him. Performed by Steven A. Wright and Robert DaPonte

Doors will open at 7pm. Reading will begin at 7:30pm. Quig’s Pub will be open for this event.
