Auditions for The Odd Couple set for 7 p.m. Sept. 20-21 at Rogers Little Theater | Community Announcement
Announcement, News — By Christopher Spencer on September 7, 2010 at 11:33 amRLT Real Live Theater will host auditions for The Odd Couple on Monday, Sept. 20, and Tuesday, Sept. 21, both nights at 7 p.m. at the Victory Theater in downtown Rogers.
Performances of The Odd Couple are Nov. 5-7, 11-14. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, and Sundays matinee is at 2 p.m.
This renowned comedy by Neil Simon begins with a group of the boys assembled for cards in the apartment of a divorced fellow, and if the mess is any indication it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is another fellow who, they learn, has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very meticulous and tense, they fear he might commit suicide, and so go about locking all the windows. When he arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As life would have it, the slob bachelor and the meticulous fellow decide to bunk together with hilarious results. The patterns of their own disastrous marriages begin to reappear in this arrangement; and so this too must end.
Roles are available for six men and two woman, aged 25 to 50. For more information, contact the RLT Box Office, 116 S. Second St., or call 631.8988. Audition packets and information are available at the RLT Box Office.
