This is the odd couple audiences have come to know and love, but with a
twist. This time it’s
“lived-in look” Olive Madison who takes in the perpetual “neat nick”
Florence Unger after her
marriage breaks up. Instead of guys playing poker, the gals have a go at
Trivial Pursuit. The
Pigeon sisters are replaced by the hilarious Manolo and Jesus. This Neil
Simon classic is
packed with laughs and surprises as Olive and Florence battle it out!

Director Shelbey Linder is looking for 6 females and 2 males
Olive Madison (Lead): Female.
Attractive, divorced, professional, vibrant, active, quick-witted,
big-hearted, but also
relentlessly sloppy and careless when it comes to the routine concerns of
her personal life. She is very much at home in running shorts and a t-shirt
and still looks smashing in a cocktail dress. The female counterpart to the
original play's Oscar Madison. She is a woman seriously in need of order in
her life.

Florence Unger (Lead): Female, attractive homemaker/housewife and very
recently separated from her husband, was a bookkeeper before she married,
extremely "pulled together" (obsessively so), pathologically organized and
neat, even sanitizes the telephone cord. Her personality is the complete
antithesis of Olive's personality. The female counterpart to the original
play's Felix Unger. A woman who badly needs to cut loose, give it up, take
a risk.

Mickey (Supporting): Female. A New York City policewoman and an organizer
and problem solver.

Vera (Supporting): Female. a bit literal-minded and a bit slow to get a
point that everyone else gets instantly always seems "a few beats behind
the conductor."

Sylvie (Supporting): Female. highly energized and a wise-cracker.

Renee (Supporting): Female, A wisecracker and a bit of a complainer as well.

Manolo Costazuela (Supporting): Male. Handsome, very well-groomed, and
Spanish with a Castilian accent; he is every woman's dream date and showers
both Olive and Flo with attention; he must have good comic timing, as he
gets very emotional; he is sensitive and appreciates Florence's sensitivity.

Jesus Costazuela (Supporting)Manolo’s younger brother; also very handsome,
well-groomed, excellent posture, very romantic; he also gets very emotional
and truly appreciates Florence.
