Talk about it

Don't forget, the River Falls High School spring play "The Odd Couple (Female Version)" is this weekend, starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

In 1985, playwright Neil Simon, who wrote the original "Odd Couple," created the female version of the play in response to its continuing popularity.

This time, the gender of the original odd pair of mismatched male roommates is changed to female.

Cast members shown left to right in the photo are: Kasey Manche as Mickey; Carley Ruemmele as Vera; Katie Yelken as Olive Madison; Sierra Thell as Sylvie; Jayne Esch as Renee; and Logan Toftness (standing) as Florence Unger. Two other cast members not shown are Ryan Elefson as Manolo and Anton Yelk as Jesus.
