Barefoot In The Park

Barefoot in the Park
By Neil Simon

Arvada Center Black Box Theatre – September 25 – November 1, 2026

Falling in love was so easy, but living together is hard. 

They always say opposites attract. In Neil Simon’s beloved romantic comedy, free-spirited Corie and uptight Paul have barely returned from their honeymoon only to have their love put to the test by their problem-filled NYC apartment. Corie wants Paul to be more spontaneous and do things like run “barefoot in the park,” and Paul just wants to get a good night’s sleep.

This heartfelt comedy highlights the ins and outs of two very different people learning to meet each other where they are – complete with wacky neighbors, a meddlesome mother, a little chaos, a little patience, and a lot of love. This slice of newlywed life will remind even the longest married couples of the pleasures and perils of falling in love. 

One of the longest-running plays in Broadway history turned into an iconic film starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, Barefoot in the Park is the perfect recipe for laughter and love.
