Fort Stockton Community Theatre Presents:
Neil Simon's
The Odd Couple
The Odd Couple (the original version by Neil Simon) will be reprised and will star veteran actors as well as some new faces. This comedy and its Female Version have been performed several times by FSCT, but it always provides laughs watching Oscar Madison, a happy-go-lucky-self-admitted slob, and his friend Felix Unger, an uptight-detail-oriented-clean freak, try to live together and play poker with their four friends and date the Pigeon Sisters. Two Paisano Players will be playin’ around” in the cast with some of their older theatre buddies. It promises to be a fun-filled run.

Standing by to help those in urgent need.
When lives and limbs are at stake, time is everything.

More and more, insurance fails to cover the full cost of a medical emergency, leaving families with out-of-pocket expenses they didn’t expect. Our 3 million+ AirMedCare Network members can take comfort in the knowledge that, should they experience a medical emergency, there will be no out-of-pocket expenses if flown by an AMCN provider.
