MRHS Theatre Presents . . .

The Odd Couple, Female Version

"Unger and Madison are at it again!  Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon's hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple.  Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trival Pursuit.  The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the two Constanzuela brothers.  But the hilarity remains the same.  "The Odd Couple, Female Version" runs November 16-19 at Marriotts Ridge High School.   Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7PM and Sunday at 3PM.  Advance tickets are available for $8 online at seatyourself.biz/marriottsridge.  At the door tickets will be $10.  This production is recommended for ages 13 and up.
