Opening tonight at Keyano Theatre, The Odd Couple! Directed
by Russell Thomas, starring Dave Boutilier, Zenon Campbell, Tim Heggie, Leanne
Osmond, Diana Cretu, Chistopher Bowers, Jim Geary and Michael Beamish.
This hilarious comedy, written by legendary playwright Neil Simon, was inspired by the real life post-divorce
experiences of television comedy writer Danny Simon. The play features two oil
and water roommates; Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat freak, news writer, and Oscar Madison, a sloppy, easy going, sportswriter. 
Felix is thrown out by his wife and in
desperation moves in with his friend Oscar Madison. Oscar enjoys life, spends
freely, gambles too often, and never cleans preferring to live in a house
filled with spoiled food. Felix, on the other hand, is utterly incapable
of enjoying anything except pointing out his own and other people's mistakes
and foibles. Even when he means well, 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 had a positive effect on him.
The show runs until Saturday, tickets are $20
and available at the Keyano Box Office or online.
