ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Directors are currently in search of performers to play roles in production of "The Odd Couple". More details are below. About the play: “The Odd Couple” is a comedy about a pair of divorced roommates who are complete opposites in their habits and lifestyles. Oscar Madison is a New York sportswriter who revels in his slobbishness. Oscar resides in an eight-room Riverside Drive apartment, where the entire play is set, and his life is in upheaval because his friend Felix Unger has moved in with him. Felix is a neat-freak photographer who is obsessed with cooking gourmet meals, purifying the air, and removing every speck of dust from Oscar’s domain. Even though in personality Oscar and Felix are like oil and water, and even though they drive each other crazy, they do care about each other. Their friendship persists despite their differences. Additional information: Performance Dates: April 3 to 13, 2025. Callbacks (if necessary), November 15, 6-10pm. Audition Location: London, ON.

Please prepare a 2 – 3 minute comedic monologue that highlights your range. If you're interested, please apply.
