Neil Simon’s classic romantic comedy, Barefoot in the Park, is headed to the Lutcher Theater for one performance only, Friday, March 3, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets ranging from $25-$37 are available now at www.lutcher.org or by calling the Lutcher Theater Box Office at 409.886.5535.
Produced by Montana Repertory Theatre, Simon’s Barefoot in the Park explores love, relationship, and marriage-the pangs of loss and the joy of reunion. Newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter set up house in their New York apartment, a dysfunctional fifth-floor walkup. Corie is playful, impetuous, and thrilled with the new adventure of married life. Paul, a conservative young attorney, keeps his emotions in check while focusing on his budding career rather than his marriage. Sparks fly as Corie and Paul’s relationship is tested. Can this nascent marriage be saved?
Montana Repertory theatre takes pride in producing plays from the great American canon-stories that reveal the American character and hold a mirror to mutual longings, dreams, defeats, and victories. Montana Rep began fifty years ago and just over fifty years ago; Barefoot in the Park was produced on Broadway, jumpstarting a career for Neil Simon unmatched in modern times. Therefore it is fitting for the company to honor and produce one of the true giants of the American theatre. Other Neil Simon works include The Odd Couple, Sweet Charity The Star-Spangled Girl, Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues.
Montana Rep has brought many classic American plays to the Lutcher through the years including The Great Gatsby, The Miracle Worker, Biloxi Blues, Doubt, Bus Stop and Leading Ladies. Now one of the oldest and most respected touring companies in the country, Montana Rep had presented more than 450 performances in over 350 communities across the country. They are pleased to showcase the talents of principal actors, directors and designers with prestigious credits and awards from the worlds of Broadway, national and international tours, film and television as well as integrating students and faculty into the company. Students touring with Montana Rep work alongside seasoned actors, directors, designers, and technical crew members, gaining experience other academic programs cannot offer.
