Barefoot in the Park by Neil Simon is a romantic comedy about the chaotic first days of marriage for a young couple with opposite personalities.

Synopsis:

Corie and Paul Bratter are a newlywed couple. For their first home, they live in an apartment on the top floor of a brownstone in New York City. Corie is optimistic about their future together, while Paul, the more anxious and grounded half of the couple, worries about the various flaws in the apartment, such as a hole in the skylight, their leaky closet, and the lack of a bathtub. Shortly after moving in, Corie attempts to set her mother up with their eccentric neighbor Mr. Velasco. During the course of four days, the couple learns to live together while facing the usual daily ups-and-downs. Corie wants Paul to become more easy-going: for example, to run "barefoot in the park".

All roles open:

Corie Bratter: (20’s- early 30’s)A vibrant, romantic, and adventurous free spirit who loves spontaneity.

Paul Bratter: (25- early 30’s) Corie’s new husband, a conservative, cautious, and straight-laced lawyer.

Ethel Banks: (45-early 60’s) Corie’s proper, traditional, and widowed mother.

Victor Velasco: (50-65)The eccentric, bohemian attic neighbor who lives upstairs.

Telephone Repairman: (40-60’s) A weary man who struggles with the apartment's fifth-floor climb.
