Oscar and Felix Return to Highland
The Odd Couple, Oscar and Felix, are returning to Hard Road in February for a benefit performance by John Jatcko and Bill Sullivan courtesy of First Mid-Illinois Bank and Trust. The Odd Couple was Hard Road’s second show and opened in January 2002. This time the show returns for a limited 3-day only event and all proceeds from the show will go to benefit the HACSM Food Pantry.
Besides reuniting Jatcko and Sullivan, this show will feature some performers who were prominent in Hard Road’s early success including Tom Varner, Wayne Steiner, and Rob Bowman as the poker-playing, unpredictably-funny buddies of Oscar and Felix and Gentry Nessel and Meredith Canterberry as the crazy, but endearing, Pigeon sisters. Additional surprises are also in store.
Performances will be at the Highland High School Kennel on February 1, 2 and 3, 2013. All seats are $10 and are available through the Hard Road web site or the Highland Chamber of Commerce. When purchasing your tickets, you’ll have an opportunity to make an additional donation to the food pantry should you wish to do so. Seating is limited, so we do encourage you to purchase your tickets early.
Several businesses have already stepped up to assist in this Hard Road production in this charity event. If you would also like to help, please contact Bill Sullivan. We welcome any and all assistance in making this a successful event.
