Felix Unger's wife has just given him the boot, and since his suicide attempts were a flop, he finds refuge in the sloppy apartment of his long time friend Oscar Madison, a recently divorced man himself. Together with their friends Murray the Cop, Speed, Roy and Vinnie, they all try to cope with the trials of marriage and divorce by playing poker, drinking beer, and complaining to each other. Living with the slovenly, dumpy Oscar is no picnic and living with Felix is like living with a permanent maid! To escape the hum-drum life of two newly separated bachelors, Oscar introduces Felix to the "Pigeon" sisters, Gwendolyn and Cecily. What should have been a cozy evening for four turns into a pity party with enough tears to fill a highball glass! As tempers rise, Oscar kicks Felix out and ironically sends him into the coddling arms of the Pigeon Sisters.

With razor sharp wit and comedic timing that is the genius of Neil Simon, this wonderful and well known comedy will surely make a hit at Concord Players, as well as be a sure-fire kick off to the 2007 season!

Sheryl Blair lost her battle with lymphoma on Tuesday, August 28th. Although Sheryl was ill, she was always optimistic that this wasn't going to keep her down and signed on as one of the producers of The Odd Couple. All of us at the Concord Players are very saddened by her loss and the director and producers of The Odd Couple want to dedicate this show in her memory.
Sheryl, we miss you.
