Burnsville High School Presents 'The Odd Couple' Dec 6-15

Looking for laughter this holiday season? Well, the Odd Couple may just be the ultimate buddy comedy of all time. When fastidious Felix is thrown out by his wife, he moves in with his extremely messy friend Oscar. And hilarity ensues. Really- it does! Penned by Neil Simon, the master of American comedy, this show is truly textbook when it comes to smart quips and quick wits.


The Odd Couple premiered on Broadway in 1965, racking up a slew of Tony Awards including Best Actor in a Play (Walter Matthau), Best Author of a Play and Best Direction of a Play. It has also spawned several movie adaptations, a successful television series, a female version, and even a cartoon. A who’s who of noteworthy comedians have filled the roles of Oscar and Felix, including Jack Lemmon, Tony Randall, Jack Krugman, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane.


Directed by Randy Day, this side splitting comedy runs Dec 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 at 7:30 pm. Tickets can be reserved at www.MrazCenterTickets.com.  $8 adults/$6 students.
