Barefoot in the Park at American Stage Theatre Company

Ah, those delicious, delirious, and dicey first days of marriage! It’s 1964, and newlyweds Paul and Corie are just starting their life together in a tiny, fifth floor Manhattan walkup. 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’re invaded by Corie’s buttinsky mom as well as an aging Lothario neighbor-in-the-attic…and hilarity ensues…until everything that can go wrong, does. Paul doesn't understand Corie, and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous, running "barefoot in the park" would be a start. Don't miss this sparkling, romantic comedy from the master of the form.
