The Odd Couple

May 20 – June 12 In-person Only

By Neil Simon • Directed by Leslie Lloyd

PROGRAMTICKETS

Neil Simon’s classic comedy is still just as hilarious as it ever was. When Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat freak news writer, is thrown out by his wife, moving in with his also-divorced best friend Oscar Madison, a slovenly sportswriter, seems like an ideal plan. However, it does not take long for the pair’s catastrophic incompatibility to come crashing down on their lives, to hilarious effect. The Odd Couple won Neil Simon a Tony® for best author in 1965. 

 

Featuring: John Mannion, Jerry Lloyd, Matt Regan, Jim Woodbury, Will Perez, Ken Boswell, Kimberley Roberts, Mary Melnick, Karen DeHart, and Barbara Reynolds.

Family Giving Tree Back-to-School Drive

This year, for their 26th annual Back-to-School Drive, Family Giving Tree has set a goal to provide 26,000 supply-filled backpacks and Tabard has committed to be a part of the movement to address educational inequity and equip Bay Area students to write their own story. Join us as we help them reach this goal by July 28th, and put essential school supplies into the hands of our young, bright Bay Area scholars.

Tabard Patrons can be a part of The Backpack Comeback in a few ways:

● Print a backpack tag at this link and shop for the specific items listed on the tag and a brand-new backpack. There are 3 different grade levels to choose from. Bring your backpack with you when you come see The Odd Couple, and drop it in our donation box on the landing, or

● Visit The Family Giving Tree website to  sponsor the cost of a backpack. You can select to provide a K-2, 3-5, or 6-12 grade backpack filled with essential school supplies. Nothing will be shipped to you – Family Giving Tree does all the shopping and packaging on their end. This is a completely contact-free way of giving that you can do from anywhere.

We are excited to work together this summer to support our brilliant Bay Area students. Thank you for your support!
