Borelian Youth capture humour of Odd Couple Unfortunately it seems, the summer months are not the best time of year to put on a stage production in Port Perry. Last Friday and Saturday evening, the Borelian Youth gave a credible performance of Neil Simon's famous play, "The Odd Couple." How- ever, the audience was sparse, with only about 150 in attendance the first night, and about 100 present on Saturday. Although the play tended to drag in places, especially in the opening scene, for the most part the young cast carried their roles well. In one of the lead roles, Jim Moore was very effective portraying Oscar Madison as the drawling, ambling, ci- gar-chomping, and untidy character whose only care seemed to be his Friday night poker and the alimony payments to his . ex-wife. That is, until his pal Felix, played by Tim Brunton, leaves his wife and moves into the eight-room apart- ment with Oscar. Felix, of course is Oscar's exact opposite. He is deeply affected by the separation from his wife and children, and much to Oscar's cons- ternation he is uncommonly tidy; always scurrying a- round emptying ashptrays, dusting and generally strai- ghtening up after Oscar. Felix also cooks real meals on the stove, and much to the delight of the Friday night poker crowd replaces Os- car's stale potato chips with sandwiches on fresh bread. This contrast and conflict between Oscar and Felix created most of the humour in the play. Richard Smith, Bill Gray, Randy Watson and Ross Carter gave good perfor- mances in minor roles as the poker gang. Richard Smith was especially good with his nasal "Flatbush" accent. Louise Luke and Anne Kenny played the Pigeon sisters, Gwen and Cecily, who share a flat in the same building as Oscar. The double date scene with Felix going to great lengths to prepare dinner for the four of them was quite funny. The girls played their parts well, though at times they strained with the British accents. "The Odd Couple" of course has become almost a modern classic.

The Borelians' 'Odd Cou- ple" presentation was di- rected by Lynne MacGregor, Harold Wright designed the sets, lighting and sound was by John Cooper, props and furniture by Jim McLaugh- lin, and the prompter was Mary Lou Thomas, Tim Brunton and Lynne Mac- Gregor acted as production co-ordinators. Between acts, Debbie Gri- ffen and Sharon: Goldblatt sang several songs including "Downtown' and a 'Sinus Sonata' written by Bill Gray. One of the numbers from the musical "Godspell"' was exceptionally well done.
