Directed by Jeffery Lesniak, Neil Simon's famous update of his contemporary classic starts with a group of woman friends playing their regular game of Trivial Pursuit. This week, the coterie is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a divorcee who freely admits to being a slob. Late to arrive is Florence Unger, a stickler for detail who would try the patience of a saint, and who has unfortunately just become separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the fuss-budget decide to room together. Within days, Florece'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.

Cast:

6 Women, 2 Men

Ages 35-45

Characters:

Olive Madison

A successful television producer. She is intelligent, attractive, and wisecracking, with a good sense of humor - and she's a complete slob when it comes to her surroundings. She has an encyclopedic understanding of sports, is a complete pushover for her ex-husband, and a good friend.

Florence Unger

Attractive, well-groomed, neat, and has just broken up with her husband. She takes herself very seriously, likes to clean, decorate, and cook and is very good at all three. Flo is also intelligent, although she doesn't realize it, warm-hearted (in her own way), and has no sense of humor (at least about herself). She can also, without meaning to, make Olive feel guilty.

Sylvie

is desperately trying to quit smoking, and so sucks on lollipops or chews gum. She can get irritated with her friends, but has a good sense of humor, especially about her husband.

Renee

Sylvie's best friend, can be very plain-spoken, especially when she points out Olive's failings as a hostess. She is dating a doctor.

Vera

is very sweet, very nice, somewhat spacey, and although quite smart, is often a step or two behind her friends. She's very funny, but doesn't realize it. She is married to Harry - and they are off to Miami in the middle of July because they can get better rates.

Mickey

is a police officer, who is down-to-earth, plain talking, and has a good understanding of people. Sometimes she can take the "police bit" too far, and she tries very hard to be in control of all situations.

Manolo Costazuela

is handsome, very well groomed, and Spanish with a Castillian accent. He is every woman's dream-date, and showers both Olive and Flo with attention. He is sensitive and appreciates Florence's sensitivity.

Jesus Costazuela

is Manolo's younger brother - also very handsome, well-groomed, excellent posture, very romantic - and he also gets very emotional, and truly appreciates Florence.
