AUDITIONS!

San Leandro Players is excited to announce auditions for our Spring 2026 production of "The Odd Couple (Female Version)" by Neil Simon; directed by Dana Fry.

 

The Odd Couple (Female Version) centers around Olive Madison and Florence Unger, divorced women who become roommates.  The play opens with Olive Hosting a game night for friends in Olive's messy apartment when Florence arrives, freshly separated from her husband.  The comedic tension arises from their contrasting personalities:  Olive is laid-back and disorganized, while Florence is uptight and meticulous.  As they navigate their differences, the play explores the themes of friendship, compatibility and the challenges of cohabitation.

 

Auditions: 7pm Tuesday, January 6 and Wednesday, January 7, 2026 (January 8 callbacks, if necessary). No appointment necessary— please contact Dana Fry at danab...@yahoo.com with your questions.
