The Odd Couple (Female Couple)

Alliance for the Arts invites audiences to enjoy an evening of laughter as The Odd Couple (Female Version) takes the stage this August. Written by acclaimed playwright Neil Simon and directed by Michael Hebler, the production runs Aug. 14–23, 2026, in the Foulds Theatre at the Alliance for the Arts located at 10091 McGregor Boulevard.

Neil Simon’s fresh adaptation of his classic comedy follows longtime friends Olive Madison and Florence Unger, whose opposite personalities are put to the test when they become roommates. Olive is carefree, spontaneous and delightfully messy, while Florence is organized, meticulous and determined to keep everything in perfect order. Their clashing lifestyles create a series of humorous moments that celebrate friendship, forgiveness and the challenges of living with someone who sees the world very differently.

While honoring the spirit of the original play, The Odd Couple (Female Version) brings its own energy and memorable characters to the stage, offering plenty of laughs for audiences familiar with the classic and those experiencing it for the first time.

“The Odd Couple is one of the funniest plays I’ve read,” said director Michael Hebler. “I lost count of how many times I had to put it down while reading to catch my breath. The female version stays true to what makes the original so enjoyable while bringing its own unique charm.

Filled with quick wit, colorful characters, and Neil Simon’s signature comedic style, The Odd Couple (Female Version) is a lighthearted look at friendship, compatibility, and finding common ground despite life’s differences.
