Proof that Odd Couple is actually happening

    Since we wrapped She Loves Me in 2008 we've been planning to do The Odd Couple.  Well, 2014 is the year it happens! This isn't the official press release or anything, just a little blurb I wrote for the library newsletter.   Still, I thought it ought to be preserved since it is the first official news of our long-awaited production of The Odd Couple. 

After their well-received production of SteelMagnolias earlier this year, Valley Theatre returns to the Nancy Howe Auditorium with Neil Simon’s classic comedy The Odd Couple, directed by Amanda Cox.  The Odd Couple (made famous by the movie starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon) tells the story of two friends, sloppy Oscar Madison and fussy Felix Unger, who are forced to move in together after their marriages crumble.  The close quarters begin to test the limits of their friendship and put their unexpecting neighbors and pals right in the middle of their domestic squabble.    Shows run November 21-23.  For more information contacting thevalleytheatre@gmail.com or find them online at facebook.com/valleytheatre.

(We plan to have shows in Houghton too, but the specifics are still being worked out.)
