Nebraska Wesleyan University’s Theatre Department will perform the comedy, The Odd Couple, with its counterpart, The Female Odd Couple.

Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple centers around two grievously incompatible roommates, Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison. Due to a recent eviction, Felix, a compulsively clean news reporter takes up residence with his fellow evictee and childhood friend, Oscar, a horrifyingly disorganized sports journalist. The comedy portrays this mismatched duo’s efforts to coexist within the walls of their apartment. The role of Felix will be played by Erik Gosnell of North Platte and the role of Oscar will be played by Philip Matthews of Benkelman.

Simon’s counterpart play, The Female Odd Couple, is based on the same premise, with the characters, Florence Ungar and Olive Madison. The role of Florence will by played by Libby Lutze of Fairbury and the role of Olive will be played by Kaitlin Klemencic of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.
