Lakewood Theatre Company celebrates its 69th season of live theatre with Neil Simon’s comedy, The Odd Couple. Neil Simon’s legendary exploration of the relationship between fastidious Felix and his sloppy roommate Oscar is one of the most iconic and enduring pieces of 20th-century American comedy. The production, directed by Pat Patton, demonstrates that opposites can attract, but more likely they lead to hilarious results!
Performances begin September 23 and continue through October 17, 2021, playing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 7:30 PM, two Wednesday performances (Sept. 29 and Oct. 6) at 7:30 PM, and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM (Sept. 26 & Oct. 3, 10, and 17).

The story: In one of Neil Simon’s most recognizable and timeless comedies, the uptight Felix Unger (Grant Byington), a neurotic, neat freak arrives at the weekly poker party hosted by his messy friend Oscar Madison (Don Alder). Felix is depressed and out of sorts after being thrown out by his wife. Fearing Felix will try something desperate, Oscar, himself in the process of being divorced by his wife, invites Felix to move in with him. Within a few days, this mismatched pair is on the verge of mutual murder: Felix is frustrated by Oscar's slovenliness, while Oscar is driven insane by Felix's obsession with cleanliness.
The show’s cast also includes Danny Bruno, Todd Hermanson, Mark Schwahn, and <>Gary Powell as the poker buddies. Melissa Whitney and Christy Bigelow play the Pigeon sisters, Oscar's neighbors with whom Oscar attempts to set up a potentially passionate double date. This beloved comedy by Neil Simon is both surprisingly poignant and side-splittingly funny.
