A capacity crowd is expected to be in attendance at the premiere . production, Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. Jack Duffy and Les Carlson star in the, production about two men wile move in together when their marriages go on the rocks. It is a hilarious study in incompatibility because one (Oscar) is a slob' while the other (Felix) is com- pulsively neat. Jack Duffy who's career has taken- him from the night club circuit as a singer with Tommy Dorsey through radio to star of his own T.V. show, "Here's Duffy", plays Felix. Opposite him is Les Carlson, whose recent ap- pearance in the" television pro- duction, Raku Fire, won him an ACTRA award for Best Sup- porting Actor. Both guest artists appear at the Playhouse through corporate assistance from Dis- count Dave's Home Centre. Stan Lacey, Alden Jones. Mur- ray Ellis, Ann De Villiers, Marion, Gilsenan, and David C. Douglas complete the cast. James Murphy directs the production with set- ting by Alistair MacRae: The fireworks display and punch and cake will be served directly after the performance to the crowd of first nighters.
