This classic play concerns two mismatched roommates: Felix Ungar, a neatnik, uptight, neurotic newswriter, is thrown out by his wife and moves in with his divorced friend, Oscar Madison, an easygoing, messy, sportswriter. Their polar-opposite personalities grate on each others last nerve, as Felix's fastidious, hypochondriac behavior clashes wildly with Oscar's slovenly habits, creating hilarious results and pushing their friendship to its limits.
Entering the mix are their four longtime poker buddies, and two upstairs neighbors, the cuckoo Pigeon sisters, as a hopefully romantic diversion for Oscar and Felix.
Fast pacing, witty dialogue and unforgettable characters, make The Odd Couple a show not to be missed.

What's Happening
News
Brighton Barn Theatre lost its long time President on May 2nd after a lengthy illness. Art Middleton, or J Arthur as he always liked to be listed in our programs, had been President for as long as most of us can remember.
For almost 20 years, in addition to his presidential duties, Art also produced plays, was our Technical Director, set designer, lighting designer and operator. We have always been blessed that Art and his construction team had our sets "ready to go" so that our casts could rehearse on them as quickly as possible.
Art was truly committed to our Brighton Barn Theatre, having moved from Cobourg to Brighton, just five minutes away from the theatre, when he became President.
Despite his illness, Art last designed the set and lighting for Norm Foster's "Jenny's House of Joy" which ran April - May this 2025 season and was a tremendous success.
His talents and dedication will surely be missed.
