The VMI Community Theatre will present the female version of Neil Simon’s comic classic, “The Odd Couple,” Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 26, at 2 p.m. in Gillis Theater.
Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is. Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of “Trivial Pursuit.” The guys are replaced by the gals, and the Pidgeon sisters are replaced by the Costazuela brothers.
“It’s the show you know as you’ve never seen it before,” said Tim Price, codirector along with Andrew Hartless, who also serves as stage manager.
Included in the cast are community members Emma Hawes as Olive Madison, Emilie Davis as Florence Unger, Linda Gorman as Mickey, Melou Piegari as Renee, Paula Oxendine as Sylvie, Marianne Hause as Vera, Tom Oxendine as Manolo, and Tim Price as Jesús.
The light and sound booth is run by Joe Hawes.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens ages 65 and over, payable by cash or check at the door. Cadets and children ages 6 and under are free. Reservations are not required.
Gillis Theater is located in Marshall Hall on VMI post.
