SUMMARY:Barefoot in the Park | Iowa City Community Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Barefoot in the Park\n\n\nDirected by Jos Sazon \nBarefoot in the Park is one of the most beloved comedies of Neil Simon. 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. 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… \nCAST LIST \nMelissa Kaska – Corie\nEthan Rogers – Paul\nCarole Martin – Mrs. Banks\nBarry Schreier – Victor Velasco\nBrian Tanner – Telephone Repairman\nChris Irvin – Delivery Man \nPerformances at The James Theater\n213 N Gilbert St\, Iowa City\, IA 52245 \nPerformances will be August 22-23 and 29-30 at 7:30pm\, August 24 and 31 at 2:00pm \nClick on the button below or scan the QR code for tickets\nTicket Prices for Grease are as follows. \n\n$20 + Fees – Adults\n$17 + Fees – Students and Seniors\n$12 + Fees – Children\n\nIf you have a physical flex pass\, please call our box office at (319) 338-0443 or email us at office@iowacitycommunitytheatre.com to reserve your ticket \n\nBuy Tickets\nBuy a Flex Pass
