Auditions Announced for THE ODD COUPLE (Female Version) at Xenia Area Community Theatre

xactTHE ODD COUPLE (FEMALE VERSION)
A comedy by Neil Simon
Directed by Tony Copper

Monday March 20 at 7:00
and Wednesday March 22 at 7:00
SHOW DATES: May 26-June 4

Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is. This is Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic: The Odd Couple.
This version of the renowned comedy begins with the girls meeting to play Trivial Pursuit in the apartment of Olive Madison – and if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder her husband left her. Late to arrive is fussy Florence Unger, who, they learn, has just separated from her husband. As life would have it, fussy Florence moves in with messy Madison and the results are hilarious! 

Auditions will be cold readings from the script. No preparation is necessary, but a cursory knowledge of the play is helpful.Characters:

  • Mickey: (F) 25 – 40, a uniformed cop
  • Vera: (F) 25 -40, bit of a ditz
  • Sylvia (F) 40 up, compulsive smoker
  • Renee (F) 40 up, bit of a nerd
  • Olive Madison (F) 25 -40, messy TV producer
  • Florence Unger (F) 25 -40, meticulous, recently separated from her husband
  • Jesus Costazuela (M) 35 -45, the older brother, ” a quintessential Spanish heart throb”
  • Manolo Costazuela (M) 25 -35, the younger brother, ” a quintessential Spanish heart throb”

Xenia Area Community Theatre
Feb. 3-12
Xenia 

Directed by Cheryl Dern

Cast: Sandy Coleman as Doris & Wayne Wolfe as George

New Jersey accountant George Peters and Oakland housewife Doris meet at a Northern California inn in February 1951. They have an affair, and agree to meet once a year, despite the fact both are married to others and have six children between them. Over the course of the next 24 years, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year. During the time they spend with each other, they discuss the births, deaths, and marital problems each is experiencing at home, while they adapt themselves to the social changes affecting their lives.
