Fall 2025 Production

Barefoot in the Park

By Neil Simon

Directed by Jacob Blakeman

Summary

Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He’s a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she’s a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find – too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. Paul just doesn’t understand Corie, as she sees it. He’s too staid, too boring, and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous. Running “barefoot in the park” would be a start.

Roles to be cast

  • Corie Bratter: A carefree young newlywed, age 20–30, who is busy setting up and decorating her new home with her husband, Paul. She can be a bit scatterbrained or overly excited, but she’s not silly.
  • Paul Bratter: Corie’s husband, age 25–35, a young lawyer with a dry wit. Unlike Corie, he likes to stay in his comfort zone. Conventional. He wants to be a good husband by being a good provider. He is also very much in love with Corie. He can be a matter of fact at times, but never cold.
  • Ethel Banks: Corie’s cautious mother, age 40–65, who is willing to endure anything for her daughter. Now that Corie is out of the nest, Ethel lives alone and struggles to find her role. She is very sharp, with a good, dry wit of her own.
  • Mr. Victor Velasco: The Bratters’ eccentric, bohemian neighbor, age 40–60, who lives in the attic of the brownstone, just above their apartment. He fancies himself a ladies’ man and can be very charming.
  • Telephone Installer:  A good-humored man, age 30–60, who makes observations on everyday life and relationships as he installs and fixes telephones. This role can be played by a man or a woman.
  • Delivery Person:  A character role with funny bit. An older person, age 55 and up, who brings wedding gifts sent to the Bratters. He is exhausted by all the flights of stairs leading up to the apartment. This role can be played by a man or a woman.
