MONMOUTH — The Monmouth Community Players is set to stage “The Odd Couple, Female Version,” from March 14-23 at Cumston Hall, 796 Main St.

The play, under the direction of Josie French, also includes Vanessa Glazier as assistant director, Tim MacLeod as producer, Kyle Mansur as stage manager and Keith Mercik as sound operator.

When Florence Unger’s (Karen Lipovsky of Monmouth) marriage breaks up, her friend Olive Madison (Melissa Record of North Monmouth) offers to let her move in with her. Before long, tensions rise between the two friends, as Florence is a neat freak and Olive is not.

They are joined by their Trivial Pursuit playing friends: Vera (Jane Mitchell of Greene), Mickey (Ginger Smith of Winthrop), Sylvia (Emily Willett of Clinton) and Renee (Nancy Kenneally of Lewiston) as they brave this new roommate situation and the trials that come with it.

Olive soon convinces Florence to double-date with two men in the building. Manolo (Nick Farrand of Lewiston) and Jesus (Danny Gay of North Monmouth) only add flame to the fire in this story of how opposites do not attract.

Tickets cost $20 for adults and $17 for students and seniors. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 14, Saturday, March 15 and Friday, March 21, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 16, and Saturday-Sunday, March 22-23. On March 16 the show will additionally provide ASL interpretation of the performance.

This show contains adult language and mild adult themes.
