Show Summary

Neil Simon’s classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards
in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any
indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix
Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed,
and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar
becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean freak and the slob
ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple
is born.


Audition Requirements

Prepare *a 1-2 minute comedic monologue* from any play except *The Odd
Couple* itself.  Please bring a *CV* and, if available, a *headshot*.


Come to the Breen Center on either Monday or Tuesday, August 28 or 29,
between 3:30-6:00 pm. You will be given an audition slot. Callbacks, if
needed, will be Thursday, August 31.




Roles

*Gwendolyn Pigeon (F):* A widow who was going through a divorce when her
husband died. Lives upstairs with her sister Cecilia. Ditzy. A superficial
man’s dream, but beneath her beauty lies a very sweet and nurturing woman.

*Cecily Pigeon (F):* A divorcee who, like her sister, represents all of the
qualities prized by the superficial man. Also a little air-headed, she is
oblivious over the true power she has over men. Incredibly protective and
loyal. Innocent.
