Barefoot in the Park Tickets on Sale

The Chipola College Theatre Department opens the 2023-24 season with Barefoot in the Park, Oct. 13-15.

Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word in Neil Simon’s comedy, Barefoot in the Park (Oct. 13-15, 2023). 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. After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie’s loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco, where everything that can go wrong does. 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….
