“BAREFOOT IN THE PARK”

A romantic comedy by Neil Simon

Directed by Anne Pourciau

May 5, 6, 12, 13, 14*, 19, 20 21

Corrie and Paul Bratter have just got back from their honeymoon at the Plaza Hotel. Now, the pair struggle to adapt to the challenge of what should be wedded bliss in their tiny New York walk-up apartment. Corrie is carefree, impulsive with wonderful spunk; Paul is a bit conservative, stodgy and grounded in reality and maturity. Just how these two will fare is anyone’s guess. Add a doting mother-in-law and a zesty neighbor who lives in the attic to make for a delightful drama!

Starring Megan Pourciau, Michael Eddy, Sandra Landry, Randy Aultman, Dennis Hinds, Troy Jackson, Ronnie Pogue, & Russell Krogsgard.
