Boise State University Theatre Arts Department Presents Neil Simon's 'Barefoot in the Park'

Boise State University Department of Theatre Arts presents “Barefoot in the Park” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3-6 and 10-13 and 2 p.m. Oct. 6-7 and 13-14 at the Morrison Center Stage II. Tickets are $12 general, $10 for non-Boise State students, Boise State alumni, military and seniors. Boise State students, faculty and staff receive one free ticket, available at the Student Union Info Desk.

“Barefoot in the Park” is Neil Simon’s classic comedy about young newlyweds Corrie and Paul who are adjusting to married life — and each other — in a six-story Manhattan walkup. Paul is a strait-laced attorney and Carrie is a spontaneous free spirit, and the two must contend with a lack of heat, a skylight with a gaping hole and eccentric neighbors.

Simon’s 1963 masterpiece, his first Broadway smash, was a valentine to his wife, Joan, and to the joyful tribulations of being young, untried and uninhibited in the big city. The Boise State production is directed by Gordon Reinhart.
