Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) is proud to present The Odd Couple January 20-29, 2022 starring Producing Artist Director of ECTC Nathanael Fisher alongside Guest Director and comedian Jason Hedden, who also performed in Popcorn Falls together in 2021. When Oscar the slob and fastidious Felix decide to room together, hilarity ensues as the two mismatched roommates have a showdown of epic proportions. A classic that never goes out of style, The Odd Couple is a non-stop comedy you don’t want to miss! Clash of the Titans has nothing on Oscar and Felix! Written by Neil Simon and directed by Scott Hayes, Dean for the School of Communication & the Arts and a professor of Theatre Arts at Liberty University.
