Senior Phils Present Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple Sept. 18-20
The seniors of the Philelectic Society are proud to present Neil Simon’s comedy, The Odd Couple, for one weekend, Sept. 18-20, to an audience that will sit on stage with the actors. Director Kate Arthurs says, “The intimate setting allows the audience to feel like they can play a hand of poker with the characters and mop up spilled pasta.”
Senior Connor Hill takes on the role of Oscar, the slovenly and easy-going sportswriter, who becomes roommates with Felix Ungar, his suddenly single, neat freak friend, played by junior Cameron McCall. The Odd Couple won four Tony Awards and a New York Drama Critics’ Circle nod for best play.
