The Richmond Community Theatre is pleased to announce a special fundraising production of Neil Simon’s hilarious classic, “The Odd Couple". Performances are Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20, 2006.

In addition to our May 20th performance, Richmond Community Theatre will be featuring a special fundraising SILENT AUCTION, 50/50 RAFFLE, and cash DESSERT BAR on our Saturday, May 20th performance. Auction items will include goods and gift certificates donated from local businesses. The auction will begin at 6 p.m., followed by an 8 p.m. performance.

“The Odd Couple” is one of the most beloved comedies of all time. It follows the story of Oscar Madison, a recently separated sports writer who lives in a filthy apartment on New York’s Riverside Drive. When Oscar’s friend, Felix Unger, also finds himself single, the two decide to move in together. Hilarity ensues as Felix and Oscar are quite possibly the most mismatched pair ever to live under one roof.

Director, Bill Beaudry (of Clinton Twp.), has found his own talented Oscar and Felix in local seasoned actors Chris Mallory (of Sterling Hts.) and Ken Kelley (of Clinton Twp.). As their poker-playing buddies, the performance highlights Jason Applegate (Richmond H.S. Drama teacher and Port Huron resident), Doug Garden (of Marine City), Jason Liston (of Shelby Twp.), and Mark Badley (of Rochester). The show also features Kaaren Holt (of Lenox) and Tami Olafson (of Columbus Twp.) as the ever-silly Pidgeon sisters. Please join them in this hilarious revival of this beloved comedy classic.

This production will be held at the historical Richmond Center for the Performing Arts located at 69619 Parker Street at Churchill Street, 4 blocks North of 32 Mile Road in Richmond. Ticket prices for these fundraising performances are $15 each (no discounts offered) and can be ordered by calling (586) 727-9518. RCT accepts Visa and Mastercard payments.
