Welcome Autumn with laughs; 'The Odd Couple' opens Oct. 4

Bolognese vs. Bologna? Pot Roast vs. Potluck? A neurotic clean-freak with a side of hypochondria vs. a slob with gambling issues who kills goldfish in his spare time? These are just some of the battles to be fought in Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple” that will have you hysterically laughing. The Arts Council of the Twin Counties says “Get your tickets right away so you can place your bet on who and what is the winner!”

Directed by Ginger Correll, this laugh-out-loud comedy plays Friday October 4th and 11th at 7pm, Saturday, October 5th and 12th at 7pm, and Sunday, October 13th at 2pm at the Historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence, Virginia. Adult tickets are $15 and Senior and Student tickets are $12. Advance tickets are encouraged, due to the limited seating at the Historic 1908 Courthouse. Tickets can be purchased on-line at www.artsculturalcouncil.org/the-box-office, or by contacting the Arts Council of the Twin Counties at 276-238-1217 or info@artsculturalcouncil.org.
