Avon Players to Stage Neil Simon's THE ODD COUPLE

Clashing personalities yield comedy gold as Avon Players presents Neil Simon's classic play. The Odd Couple plays April 1-16.

When his wife throws him out, uptight neat freak newswriter Felix Unger (Tom Arwady) moves in with his friend, slovenly sportswriter Oscar Madison (Kevin Curtis). Oscar has problems of his own: careless spending, excessive gambling, and a poorly kept house. Still, easygoing Oscar enjoys his imperfect life. Felix, however, seems utterly incapable of enjoying anything and only finds purpose in pointing out his own and other people's mistakes. Will Felix's annoying ways outweigh the positive effects he has on Oscar?

This Neil Simon classic 1965 comedy was adapted into a beloved film starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and the popular ABC sitcom starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman in addition to various revivals and spinoffs.
