Perhaps no modern play has been so engrained in our country's consciousness over the past five decades as Neil Simon's classic comedy, THE ODD COUPLE. That fact notwithstanding, Stage Door Players' production, running now through August 3rd, still finds new and inventive ways to entertain. The production, directed by Shelly McCook, stars Stage Door's Artistic Director Robert Egizio as uptight Felix Unger, and the Atlanta Lyric Theatre's Associate Artistic Director Alan Kilpatrick as the slovenly Oscar Madison. Oscar takes in his best friend Felix after he is kicked out by his wife, despite the fact that the two have little in common, other than their weekly poker game.
Stage Door Players closes its 40th Anniversary Season with Neil Simon's Tony Award winning comedy The Odd Couple, featuring the company's Artistic Director, Robert Egizio in the role of fastidious Felix Unger.

The show opens tonight, July 11, 8pm curtain, and runs until August 3.
