“Lobby Hero” performances

November 1-3 & 8-10

Freeport LNG Theater

What happens when emotions come in conflict with principles, and how do choices under pressure define who we really are? Four New Yorkers involved in a murder investigation – a slacker security guard in a Manhattan apartment building, his by-the-book boss, a rookie cop and her macho partner – face moral and ethical dilemmas that explore issues of racism and sexism, and whether it’s ever honorable to do the wrong thing for the right reason. Contains strong language, mature themes and descriptions of violence.

*Tickets will go on sale after the show is cast in mid-September.

“The Odd Couple” performances

September 13-15 & 20-22

Dow Arena Theater

This classic comedy opens on a friendly card game in the untidy 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 Ungar, who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together. The action unfolds with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

Tickets:

  • Adults: $25
  • Students: $20

About the play:

Neil Simon’s classic comedy opens as a group of the guys are in the midst of their weekly poker game in the apartment of divorced sportswriter, Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. The apartment is smoke-filled, and the only thing Oscar can offer his guests is warm Coke and moldy sandwiches. The last to arrive is Felix Ungar, who has just been thrown out by his wife. Felix is depressed and seems suicidal, leading Oscar to invite Felix to be his roommate.

As Felix takes on the domestic mantle in the apartment and proves just how difficult he is to live with, Oscar is driven to the edge of madness. Poker nights are no longer evenings of smoke, grubbiness, and blokey behavior; instead, the guys are waited on hand and foot by Felix. The final straw occurs when Felix refuses to follow through with a double-date Oscar has set up with the beautiful Pigeon sisters, who live in the same apartment block. The clean freak and the slob come to blows. Audiences will love how the ultimate ‘Odd Couple’ resolves the hysterical conflict!

This classic Neil Simon play was the 1965 Tony winner for Best Author of a play and a nominee for Best Play.
