Mukwonago Village Players
Announce New Season!

The Mukwonago Village Players is excited about its upcoming 2009-10 season!

The season begins with a twist on the old favorite, The Odd Couple - Female Version. MVP will perform the female version of Neil Simon's Broadway comedy, The Odd Couple. The play centers around two divorced women who live together but cannot stand each other's habits. Neil Simon's famous update of his contemporary classic starts with a group of female friends playing their weekly game of Trivial Pursuit. The coterie is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a slob divorcee who freely admits, "I leave a mess when I read a book." Late to arrive is Florence Unger, a stickler for detail who would try the patience of a saint, and who has unfortunately just separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the neat freak decide to room together -- with hilarious results! Within days, Florence's obsessive habits start taking their toll on Olive and their friends. The only remedy Olive can think of (a pair of brothers from Barcelona) disastrously backfires, and the two women are forced to agree on one thing -- even the best of friends sometimes make the worst of roommates.

Directing for the first time with the Mukwonago Village Players is Catherine O'Donnell. Catie, as she prefers to be called, recently relocated back to the Midwest after completing her education at the University of Miami with a degree in Theater. Catie brings a lot of experience with her but more importantly, tons of energy and a wonderful positive attitude! Catie is looking forward to working with the Mukwonago Village Players and making The Odd Couple - Female Version a big success!
