THE ODD COUPLE: Two Versions of the Classic Play in Repertoire!

Both Versions by Neil Simon

Oscar & Felix
Directed by Stephen Phillipps

Plays March 23, 24, 29, 30, April 6, 7, 12, 13

America’s comic mastermind, Neil Simon, updated his classic comedy The Odd Couple in 2004, giving the trials and tribulations of Felix Unger and Oscar Madison a more modern approach. Those who love the original version will laugh all over again at the classic characters in an all-new setting. The play opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards in the messy apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. Recently separated Felix Unger arrives, fastidious and suicidal.  After the clean freak and the slob decide to room together with hilarious results, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind.

The Odd Couple, Female Version
Directed by Simon Hayward

Plays March 22, 23, 30, 31, April 5, 6, 13, 14

Instead of a poker party, messy Olive Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit, and fastidious Florence Unger comes to share the apartment.  Simon brilliantly translates his original classic, reimagining the familiar and hilarious situations for two women who can’t possibly coexist, but somehow manage to do just that.

BECKY’S NEW CAR

By Steven Dietz

Directed by Hannah Eckstein

Becky Foster is mired in middle age, middle management, and a middling marriage. Then one night a grief-stricken millionaire appears and offers her a new life…and the audience is offered a chance to ride along in a way that most plays wouldn’t dare. It adds up to an exciting, delightful, and moving romp down the road not taken.

August 16 – 18

NEW WORKS WEEKEND

Sept. 20- Oct. 31

EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL

Book and Lyrics by George Reinblatt

Music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris, and George Reinblatt

Directed by Davis Banta

Five college students travel to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them into sass-talking, soul-sucking demons. It’s up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-slaying hero), armed with his trusty chainsaw, to save the day. The most frightfully hilarious musical since Rocky Horror, this off-broadway show combines the cult classic films Evil Dead 1 & 2, with well-known references to Army of Darkness, into one of the craziest, funniest, and … bloodiest theatrical experiences of all time. It’s the only show in history with a “Splatter Zone” – a brave section of the audience that risks getting covered in fake blood. With its endless stream of over-the-top jokes, uproarious musical numbers, outrageous special effects, and … did we mention blood? Evil Dead The Musical is unlike any live show you’ve ever seen.

Nov. 22-Dec. 22

MIRACLE ON 34^TH STREET, THE PLAY

Adapted by Mountain Community Theater from the Novel

by Valentine Davies

Directed by Daria E. Troxell

“This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really.” So writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heartwarming holiday story about Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, who gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s. Kris unleashes waves of goodwill by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing that tests one little girl’s belief in Santa. This MCT staple has delighted SLV families for over 40 years.
