By Neil Simon Directed by Eric Bishop Get ready for twice the laughs as we present both the male and female versions of Neil Simon's classic comedy. One's tidy. One's messy. Both are divorced and need a place to stay. What could go wrong? Two suddenly single pals strain their friendship by turning into roommates and unconsciously repeating the same mistakes they made in the marriages they just left. That's how fussy photographer Felix Unger and sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison end up sharing a New York City apartment, while fastidious Florence Unger and carefree Olive Madison navigate their own comedic challenges. Don’t miss Neil Simon’s "The Odd Couple"—double the fun, double the laughs!
