CASTING CALL

The Odd Couple  (Female Version)

Oro Valley Theatre Company is seeking an actor to fill the role of

JESÚS COSTAZUELA

THE ROLE

Jesús Costazuela is Manolo's younger brother — handsome and romantic, with excellent posture and a flair for dramatic emotion. He is sensitive and sincere, bringing both charm and heart to every scene.

ABOUT THE SHOW

As Oro Valley Theatre Company celebrates its 10th Anniversary Season, it returns to the show that launched the company a decade ago — Neil Simon's hilarious The Odd Couple (Female Version). This fast-paced comedy follows the unlikely pairing of easygoing Olive Madison and the obsessively neat Florence Unger as they attempt to share an apartment after their marriages fall apart.

Filled with sharp wit, memorable characters, and one of the funniest dinner party scenes ever written, Simon's updated take on the classic comedy delivers nonstop laughs and heart. Whether you are discovering the show for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, The Odd Couple (Female Version) promises a delightful evening of comedy in celebration of OVTC's milestone season.
