Walt Willey — who plays Jackson Montgomery on ABC's "All My Children" — will be sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison in Surflight Theatre's upcoming production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple.



Directed by James A. Bond, the production will also feature David Edwards as neurotic photograph Felix Unger.

Performance dates at the New Jersey venue are Oct. 21-Nov. 1.

"Felix has just broken up with his wife," according to press notes. "With nowhere else to go, he is urged by his good friend, Oscar, to move in with him. Oscar is a disorganized, casual, incurable slob and Felix is an uptight, neat and neurotic control freak. Slowly but surely, the pair begin to drive each other crazy with their various idiosyncrasies, and things go from bad to worse when Oscar sets up a double-date with a pair of British sisters. Still, in this hilarious tale of mismatched buddies they'll learn that love, trust, and friendship are more important than living in different worlds."
