Love Letters

The Odd Couple

Feb 12 - 14

LIVE in the Studio

Written By A.R. Gurney

Directed By Jenny Ballard

A moving and unconventional love story, this Pulitzer Prize winning play follows the relationship and lives of Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner as told through the letters, notes, and cards they send to one another. Beginning with thank you cards and summer camp letters as children, the relationship continues throughout their lives even though the two live physically separate lives. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down.

The Odd Couple

Feb 19 - 28

LIVE

Written By Neil Simon

Directed By Brandon Guillory

Join Theatre Baton Rouge as we present this classic comedy of opposites. Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat freak news writer, is thrown out by his wife, and moves in with his friend Oscar Madison, a slovenly sportswriter. Despite Oscar's problems – careless spending, excessive gambling, a poorly kept house filled with spoiled food – he seems to enjoy life. Felix, however, seems utterly incapable of enjoying anything and only finds purpose in pointing out his own and other people's mistakes and foibles. Even when he tries to do so in a gentle and constructive way, his corrections and suggestions prove extremely annoying to those around him. Can these two extreme opposites live together and keep their friendship alive or are they doomed to failure?
