Michael Redondo, senior at Sterling College, will direct his senior show, “The Odd Couple,” this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9-10, in Culbertson Auditorium at 8 p.m. The show, written by Neil Simon, will be the female version of the play and is rated PG for mild adult content.

“The Odd Couple,” is based on the relationship between mismatched roommates Olive Madison and Florence Unger. The humorous play is filled with witty comments as the tension between the two main characters rises throughout the show.

Redondo is from Norco, Calif., and is the son of Robert and Mary Redondo.
