"Odd Couple"
(female version)

The Newport Theatre Guild will present Neil Simon’s Production of “The Odd Couple” (female version) on Aug. 1,2,8,9 at 7:30PM and the Sunday, Aug. 10 matinee will be at 2:30PM.

The play centers around two different women who are friends and despite their very different characteristics remain friends.

The two women embark on a journey as they become roommates due to one having already survived a divorce and the other’s pending divorce.

This play is definitely a lesson in female bonding and shows the strength ad agility of the female soul. These ladies have four very special friends who each offer her own unique personality to the production while revealing their loyalty to their friend.

There is no such thing as “odd”, only different.
