The Odd Couple (female version)
Date: Tuesday, April 15 – Sunday, April 20
Time: 7:30 Tuesday-Saturday and 2:00 Saturday and Sunday
Location: Allen Bales Theatre
Description: (taken from Theatre and Dance calendar) Neil Simon's famous comedy gets a makeover in this classic tale of mismatched roommates. Better suited for hand-to-hand combat than life in a shared apartment, Oscar and Felix are now Olive and Florence in Neil Simon’s own adaptation of his celebrated Broadway play. Having just separated from her husband, Florence moves into Olive’s home, but the two begin to clash almost immediately as Florence dedicates herself to obsessive cleaning while Olive enjoys the slovenly life of a single female. When worlds collide you can rest assured that comedy explodes as the tenacious twosome tear each other apart in this laugh-out-loud comedy caper.
Cost: $6 (All tickets are currently sold out, but you can find more information about cancellations and standby tickets at http://www.as.ua.edu/theatre/calendar.html.)

Description: (taken from Theatre and Dance calendar) Enter the world behind the fairy tale in Stephen Sondheim's Broadway masterpiece, “Into the Woods.” The Baker, his wife, Jack, Cinderella, and Red Riding Hood enter the woods on a journey to fulfill their dearest dreams. With a vengeful witch, two love-sick princes, a ravenous wolf, and a rampaging giant on the loose, the quintet may find more trouble amongst the trees than they bargained for. What happens after "happily ever after?" “Into the Woods” is not a children's show and some elements of the production may frighten young audiences. Parents are encouraged to use discretion when bringing small children.
