Robert Bills Productions will present THE ODD COUPLE (female version), Neil Simon’s 1985 adaptation of his Tony Award-winning Broadway comedy, at Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave, previewing October 17, opening Friday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. and running through Sunday, November 10. “Felix” and “Oscar” are now “Florence” and “Olive” in this riotously funny play centered around two wildly mismatched roommates living together in New York City. Robert Bills will direct.
Hailed as “Very funny indeed!” by The New York Post, and “Endearing!” by USA Today, THE ODD COUPLE (female version) follows fun-loving and messy Olive Madison and neurotic neat-freak Florence Unger, who come to live together after their respective marriages fail. Joined by their group of witty Trivial Pursuit playing friends and a pair of suave Spanish neighbors, the best friends soon realize they make the worst of roommates. After only three weeks, they have driven each other crazy, disagreeing about responsibility, cleanliness, personal space and everything in between. Olive and Florence attempt to reconcile each other’s idiosyncrasies while rekindling their respective social lives, with side-splitting results.
THE ODD COUPLE (female version) runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2:30 pm at Greenhouse Theater Center. Ticket prices range from $20.00 for students/seniors and groups to $28.00 for general admission. For tickets, call the Greenhouse Theater Box Office at 773.404.7336 or visit www.greenhousetheater.org. The Box Office is open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
