Conroe’s Owen Theatre Hosts Female Odd Couple Comedy

**Conroe Laughs: The Players Theatre Brings Hilarious Female Version of ‘The Odd Couple’ to Owen Stage**

Conroe, TX – The Players Theatre Company is set to deliver an evening of classic comedic chaos with its current staging of Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple” (the female version), running at the historic Owen Theatre in downtown Conroe. Audiences are invited to witness the uproarious clash of personalities across two weekends: June 7th, 8th, and 9th, followed by June 14th, 15th, and 16th.

This beloved adaptation, penned by Simon himself, reimagines the iconic duo of Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison as the meticulously neat Florence Unger and the slovenly Olive Madison. The play follows these two mismatched friends as they navigate the trials and tribulations of living together in a New York apartment after their respective marriages dissolve, leading to a relentless series of comedic conflicts and relatable observations on friendship and cohabitation.

Directed by Adam Isbell, with Angelie De Los Santos serving as Assistant Director, the production promises to immerse audiences in the world of these unforgettable characters. Whitney Booth shines as the fastidious Florence Unger, whose neuroses push the boundaries of patience, while Sarah Walker embodies the free-spirited, messy Olive Madison, creating a dynamic and hilarious contrast.

“Neil Simon’s writing is timeless, and the female version of ‘The Odd Couple’ brings a fresh, vibrant energy to a classic story,” notes Director Adam Isbell. “We’ve focused on creating a visually stunning and realistic apartment environment that truly transports the audience into Olive and Florence’s world. Our cast has incredible chemistry, and their comedic timing is absolutely brilliant.”

The Owen Theatre, a cornerstone of Conroe’s cultural landscape located at 225 Metcalf Street, provides an intimate setting for this engaging production. The Players Theatre Company, known for its dedication to high-quality community theatre, continues its tradition of bringing professional-level performances to local audiences.

“Audiences will undoubtedly see themselves, or friends they know, in Florence and Olive,” says lead actress Whitney Booth. “It’s a testament to Simon’s genius that these characters resonate so strongly, and it’s been an absolute joy to explore their friendship and their wonderfully exasperating quirks on stage.”

Showtimes for the Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., while Sunday matinees offer an earlier start at 2 p.m., perfect for an afternoon of laughter.
