Barefoot in the Park opens May 1

posted 05/01/2008
The Benefit Players present Neil Simon's best-loved romantic comedy, Barefoot in the Park. Opens May 1, 2008 the play will run weekends until May 18 (May 1, 2, 3, 4; 8, 9, 10, 11; 15, 16, 17 and 18). Sunday performances begin at 5 p.m. while the other nights begin at 7:30 p.m.

The local cast directed by Ed Strum includes Doug Schirmer as Paul Bratter, Kamala Chambers as Corie Bratter, Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso as Corie's mother, Ethel, and Dorian Oliver as the Bratter's eccentric upstairs neighbor, Victor. Marc Wynn and Ernest Pugh are also in the cast.

The play takes place in a small, quirky 5th floor walk up Greenwich Village apartment. Newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter contend with a malfunctioning heater, a hole in the roof, and an upstairs neighbor who must go through their flat to reach his apartment - all in the first weeks of marriage.

Paul, a buttoned-down young man is focused on becoming a successful lawyer. Corie is outgoing and romantic. Corie tries to set up her meddling mother, Ethel, with Victor. A hilarious sequence of misunderstandings tests the boundaries of their love.

All performances will take place at the Benefit Players Theatre at the corner of Tucker Avenue and Guard Street. As always, admission is by tax-deductible donation.
