COMING - MARCH 21 and 22 THE TOP COMEDY HIT OF THE 1960'5; FROM THE SAME AUTHOR WHO WROTE "THE ODD COUPLE" ...» Student Theatre of Speedway H.S. “BAREFOOT IN THE PARK” - MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND NOW - Reserved Seats Go On Sale Monday Adults $1.25 Students SI.OO Laugh the winter out greet Spring with a Smile.

"Barefoot in Clover" “Barefoot in the Park” is the title of the long-run Broadway comedy hit coming to the Speedway High School Theatre on March 21 and 22 for two performances, both at 8 p.m. “Barefoot in the Park”, generally agreed to be one of the funniest and most successful comedies in American stage history was a three-and-a-half year-long hit in New York from its opening in the fall of 1963. Lynn Tackitt, Mrs. Banks, will be seen in the comic role of a sedate suburban widow caught up in a wild romance with a charming Hungarian ne’er-do-well—a penniless gourmet she encounters on a visit to her newlywed daughter.

The continental charmer that overwhelms her is one Victor Velasco —“The Blueboard of 48th Street”. This part will be played by Bob Harbin. Velesco’s determination to feed Mrs. Bansk and to have instant romance generates some of the loudest laughter ever heard in the theatre. The comedy tells of the hilar-, ious disorders of a pair of newlyweds who are trying to establish a love nest in a draughty walk-up apartment, whose broken skylight admits snowdrifts int tohe living room. The newlyweds, Carie and Paul Bratter, will be played by Nancy Casaday and Eric DeWeese. The play will be directed by Mr. Don Johnson. Tickets will be available from now until the performances on March 21 and 22. Tickets may be purchased at the High School or by contacting Mr. Johnson. By popular request, theatre goers will be allowed to wear shoes during performances! Be sure not to miss “Barefoot in the Park”.
