St. John Theatre Announces Cast for
The Odd Couple: Female Version

St. John Theatre has announced the cast for its fall production of The Odd Couple: Female Version by Neil Simon. Performances will take place November 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and November 9 at 2:30 p.m. at the historic theatre, located at 115 W. 5th Street in Reserve. The production is directed by Mike Brooks.

Neil Simon’s witty revision of his classic comedy puts a fresh spin on the beloved story by transforming the lead characters into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and her group of girlfriends gather weekly for a lively Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy apartment. When Florence arrives, devastated after being left by her husband, Olive invites her to move in. But Olive’s carefree, untidy ways clash with Florence’s obsession with cleanliness and order, testing their friendship and setting the stage for a series of laugh-out-loud moments. The tension reaches its peak when Olive arranges a double date with the charming Costazuela brothers — and chaos ensues.

Following auditions held August 20 and 21, St. John Theatre is proud to present the following cast:

Olive Madison – Janell Napier
Florence Unger – Candace Hoover
Sylvie – Sarah Laborde
Renee – Brandy Herbert
Mickey – Connie Powell
Vera – Renee Leblanc
Manolo Costazuela – Steve Harrell
Jesus Costazuela – Moe Ahmad

This fast-paced, laugh-filled comedy explores friendship, personality clashes, and what happens when two very different people try to share the same space.
