Neil Simon’s hilarious comedy The Odd Couple comes to the 24th Street Theater
RSP is pleased to announce that rehearsals have begun for this hit comedy and the cast is going to be fantastic! One of the most beloved comedies of all time, THE ODD COUPLE follows the story of Oscar Madison, a recently divorced sports writer who lives in a filthy apartment on New York’s Riverside Drive. When Oscar’s friend, Felix Unger, finds himself separated from his wife, the two decide to move in together. Hilarity ensues, as Felix and Oscar are quite possibly the most mismatched pair ever to live under one roof.

The very talented cast includes Gil Sebastian as Oscar Madison, Del Marks as Felix Unger, Frank Hardin as Murray, Gregory Smith as Roy, Kevin Caravalho as Vinnie, Tony SingingEagle as Speed, Anne-Marie Trout as Gwedolyn Pigeon and Shaleen Schmutzer as Cecily Pigeon. Set design will be by Dave Hushbeck, Lighting Design by Louis Hudson, Costumes by Lillian Baxter and Denise Miles, and the production will be directed by Bob Baxter. The Odd Couple opens September 3rd, for a limited four week run, so purchase your ticket early for this classic comedy you won’t want to miss this one. To purchase tickets for The Odd Couple please visit us at www.runawaystage.com or call (916) 207-1226.

Great Parking News at Sierra 2 - The 24th Street Theatre!
As you are approaching the 24th Street theatre from Broadway, make a left turn on Castro Street and then a right turn into a newly available parking lot for theatre patrons. You will notice a new sign that lets you know that it is OK to park there for theatre events. This lot is very close to the theatre (a short walk right beside the theatre brings you to the front door, and the Box Office), and right next to the RSP rehearsal space known as "The Studio." So please feel free to park in this lot when you come to see the great shows at RSP! Just another way to make visiting the 24th Street Theatre easier and hassle free!
