Casting the female version of “The Odd Couple.”

Synopsis: The play takes place in New York City in 1985. Unger and Madison are at it again–Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon’s contemporary comic classic: the female version of ‘The Odd Couple.’ Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the two Costazuela brothers–but the hilarity remains the same.
