The Center Stage Players are back with their 2013 fall presentations, ˜Roses in December by Victor Cahn and two shows in repertory “ ˜The Odd Couple and ˜The Female Odd Couple by Neil Simon.

Roses in December, by Victor Cahn is a play of letters. A young official in a college alumni office invites a celebrated but reclusive author to the thirty-fifth reunion of his class.$0

When he declines, she charmingly prods him, and thereby begins a witty and revelatory correspondence that becomes part mystery, part memory and part romance.

Opening September 6 and running through September 15 shows will be 8pm September 6,7,13 and 14 2pm September 8 & 15.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 Seniors and $10 Children 12 and Under.

In ˜The Odd Couple, Oscar is a slob, but thats the least of his problems! His apparently traumatic divorce has cauterized his ability to love. When he invites a group of the guys over for a game of cards, he meets Felix, who is meticulous, tense and recently divorced.

When Oscar proposes he move in to the apartment to save expenses, patterns of their own disastrous marriages begin to reappear with hilarious results!
