Roles

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.




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
tries to cheer his best friend up by going on a date with two beautiful
women. Tensions rise, though, when this clean freak and the slob room
together with hilarious results
