Winter Production 2006 - Odd Couple
The Odd Couple auditions will be Sat. Jan. 27 from 10-12 and Sunday Jan. 28 from 2-4.
The Arts council is getting ready to do another show!
The Hilliard Arts Council will present
Neil Simon’s hilarious comedy
Friday and Saturday March 16 and 17 at 8:00 P.M. and
Sunday March 18th at 3:00 P.M.
at the Tripleforce Artistic Studios
3979 Parkway Lane in Hilliard.
Written in l965, The Odd Couple is one of Simon’s funniest plays. The
play tells the story of Oscar Madison, a slob, and Felix Unger, a “neat
freak.” When Felix gets a divorce and moves in with his best friend,
Oscar, comedy ensues. The show was so successful that it was made into a
movie in l968 and was a very popular television series from l970-l975.
The Odd Couple will be directed by Jason Hugh Smith who appeared in the
Arts Council production of Barefoot in the Park last year and who has
been in numerous productions at other community theatres.
Cast as Oscar Madison is Hilliard High School graduate Dan Chapman. Dan
was last seen in the role of Alfred P.Doolittle in the Hilliard Arts
Council production of My Fair Lady.
Mark Zedella will play the role of Felix. Mark is new to the
Hilliard Arts Council but has appeared in other community theatre
productions in Columbus.
Rounding out the cast are Jerry Thomas, Bob Tudas, David Chapman
and J. Aaron T. Sinclair as Oscar and Felix’s poker playing buddies.
Kristin Maetzold and Bethany Schoeff play the Pigeon sisters,
two English girls who go on a double date with Oscar and Felix.
