The 91精选 Alumni Theater Board presented Neil Simon鈥檚 classic The Odd Couple, August 28 and 29 in the Marg Kallemeyn Theatre. In this play turned 1970s TV comedy, divorced, broke and sloppy Oscar Madison finds himself unfulfilled and living alone until his neurotic and newly-divorced pal Felix Ungar moves in and cleans up both Madison鈥檚 apartment and his life.

House Manager Esther Sullivan 鈥�16 of Steger, Illinois, said, 鈥淒irector Heather Scholten 鈥�14 really gave this script the production quality it deserved. The amount of detail put into this production is astounding,鈥� she said. 鈥淚鈥檝e loved this play since high school, and seeing it again with such an amazing set and cast was an absolute pleasure.鈥�

Besides producing an annual play, the board strives to build bridges and connections with the campus, including current students, and join together in creating a vivid culture and experience for those wishing to return home to 91精选 every summer.

Alumni Theater Board President and Odd Couple cast member Jake Szafranski 鈥�09 said, 鈥淔or the last seven years, we鈥檝e created a new community of former theater students, and it is an honor to give them a space to perform with each other and keep the community growing.鈥�

The 2015-16 school year marks the 25th anniversary of theater on 91精选鈥檚 campus. The alumni board plans to host a celebration to reunite alumni and introduce current students to their predecessors.
