Press release

The Bucyrus Little Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for its first production of the 2016-2017 season: ‘Barefoot in the Park’ by 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. 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…

Directed by Beth Hartzler and made available through Samuel French, auditions will be held Saturday, July 30 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, July 31 at 7 p.m. at the Bucyrus Little Theatre (130 Songer Avenue, Bucyrus).

Performance dates will be October 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9.
