Barefoot in the Park

Comedy

SYNOPSIS:

Corie, a free-spirited optimist, and Paul, a reserved attorney, couldn’t be more different. Corie’s spontaneity clashes with Paul’s practicality, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and endearing reconciliations as the newlyweds embark upon married life in their quirky, cozy new apartment.  As their relationship evolves, the couple not only faces the challenges of wedlock, but also a grueling flight of stairs and an eccentric upstairs neighbor who adds an extra dash of hilarity. Love sparkles in Neil Simon’s delightful romp, reminding us that true love can endure even the quirkiest of circumstances  – and be incredibly fun.

CASTING:

Seeking actors adept at romantic comedy realism.  The show is set in the early 1960s.

ETHEL BANKS – Female, mid 50s – 60s. Corie’s mother and a widow. Conservative and traditional, she often clashes with Corie’s carefree nature. Yet, her love for her daughter shines through.

VICTOR VELASCO – Male, mid 50s – 60s. Cori and Paul eccentric neighbor. He is a charming,  flamboyant, bohemian whose presence exposes the contrasts between his extravagant lifestyle and the Bratters’ more conventional one.
