The Tyrone Community Players have announced auditions for their upcoming production, “Barefoot in the Park.”
According to a recent TCP press release, “Barefoot in the Park” is considered one of Neil Simon’s most finely crafted comedies. It tells the story of a newly married couple, six days to be exact, who move into a New York City Brownstone apartment inhabited by an eclectic and eccentric array of characters.
Auditions are scheduled for Sunday and Monday, August 28-29 at 7 p.m. in the TCP building located at 1019 Logan Ave., Tyrone. Individuals should be prepared with a short monologue, either from the “Barefoot” script or a show of like tone.
Performance dates for this production are scheduled for October 21-22 in the parish hall at St. Matthew’s Church.
The cast for Neil Simon’s “Barefoot in the Park” includes: Corrie Bratter, a twenty-something new bride: free spirited, Bohemian, trusting and accepting of all types of personalities; Paul Bratter, Corrie’s husband of six days. He is a conservative corporate attorney struggling to establish his new career; Mrs. Banks, Corrie’s mother, a widow who is uptight and set-in-her-ways, but secretly craving for a chance to “break loose”; Victor Velasco, an eccentric, mountain climbing, gourmet chef who lives on the roof of the building above Corrie and Telephone Man and Delivery Man, two characters who fall prey to Corrie’s charm, even at the expense of the many flights of stairs required to reach her apartment.
