Players tackle ‘The Odd Couple’
The
Cactus Shadows High School Shadowbox Players
present the male and female versions of Neil
Simon’s hit comedy “The Odd Couple.”
The
male cast will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Oct.
3, 5, and 6 and the female cast will perform
at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 11,12 and 13 at The Cactus
Shadows Fine Arts Center at 33606 N. 60th St.

The
male version, a 1965 Broadway hit, was made
famous by the popular 1968 movie and 1970’s
television series of the same name.
The
female version which debuted in 1985, updated
the original premise (instead of poker, the
gals are playing Trivial Pursuit) while keeping
the same story line.
Both
versions were written by Neil Simon.
“The
Odd Couple” contains some profanity and references
to adult situations.
