The Valparaiso Theatrical Company is a non-profit group meant to focus on providing fund-raising opportunities for other non-profit organizations. 
Their mission is to offer professional theater at an affordable price while giving to charitable causes. Whether the plays are socially relevant classics, contemporary or new plays with vision, giving back in an artistic and monetary way to the world is our mission. While performance is its own reward, the VTC’s Board is committed to giving a portion of profits from each show to other Non-profit organizations & charitable causes.

Synopsis: This classic comedy opens with a group of guys assembled for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison, and if mess is any indication, it’s no small wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very fastidious and none too tense, they fear he might commit suicide and go about locking all the windows. When Felix arrives he scarcely allowed going to the bathroom alone. As the action unfolds, the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born!
