About Barefoot in the Park

Set in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, Barefoot in the Park opens with newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter moving into their fifth-floor walkup apartment. Adjusting to married life soon becomes complicated by a leaking skylight and their eccentric neighbor Victor Velasco, who must go through their apartment in order to get to his own. When Corie hatches a plot to get Victor together with her mother Ethel, the dinner party goes awry with hilarious results.

About Deland

This historical special event is intended to celebrate 136 years of the founding of DeLand by Henry A. DeLand in 1876. All of the information, as told by 14 of DeLand’s original settlers portrayed in this production, has been carefully researched and authenticated from books, newspaper articles, letters, and documents, and is intended to serve as a living tribute to those early pioneers. I have chosen to “bridge” the dialogue for each character’s introduction with a narration by Helen P. DeLand, Henry DeLand’s only daughter, who in the late 1920s decided to write her memoirs as a testimony to her father’s efforts and struggles to make DeLand flourish -- and flourish it did. It was this pioneering spirit that those early pioneers captured, and each actor seen and heard in this presentation portray those settlers in a straight forward style, each telling of their own personal contributions to the founding of the city which shaped early DeLand, and who make this production historically important. It is well that the pages of history be turned backward to those settlers who each had a “special dream and vision,” and who were instrumental in the beginnings of the most important events that have taken place here in the distant past.
