Barefoot IN the Park at Laguna Playhouse
02.19.20
Comedy legends Rita Rudner and Paul Rodriguez star in the Neil Simon classic BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, previews begin on Wednesday, February 26 at Laguna Playhouse and will open on Sunday, March 1 at 5:30 p.m. and runs through Sunday, March 22.
Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word.
Fresh off a honeymoon at the Plaza Hotel, free-spirited Corie and her buttoned-down husband Paul find themselves struggling to adjust to married life in their too expensive, run-down New York walk-up.
Throw in a loopy meddling mother, an eccentric Bohemian upstairs neighbor, and a double date that goes disastrously wrong, and you've got the perfect recipe for laughter! Director Michael Matthews (Twelve Angry Men, The Graduate) returns to direct this hilarious new look at this "bubbling, rib-tickling comedy" (The New York Times).
606 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach. 949.497.ARTS (2787).
