"The Odd Couple" explores love, friendship, and new beginnings

Peoria Players Theatre

This week, we're talking with Nate Downs. He's playing Oscar Madison in "The Odd Couple." The production opens tonight at Peoria Players Theatre. This will be the Downs' fourth time Downs has done the show, and the third time he's played Oscar. He talks about how the themes of the play, and Neil Simon's sharp dialogue, make the work timeless. He also talks about the relationship between Oscar and Felix, and about how the other characters in the play contribute to the experience.
