Hello there, everyone! It’s that time again! We are here to introduce you to another one of our incredible “Barefoot in the Park” cast members! Introducing Kevin Judice in the role of Victor Velasco! Here’s what Kevin has to say about playing Victor: “The thing I like most about my character, Mr. Victor Velasco, is that he lives in the moment. He doesn’t worry about tomorrow’s problems because he is too busy living in the here and now, enjoying whatever situation he finds himself in at the present time. He is the epitome of the adage “Don’t sweat the small stuff!” and for Victor Velasco, it’s all small stuff. He is at home and completely comfortable in any environment; high balls at high end cocktail parties with famous movie directors or Uzu in the Albanian restaurant with the wait staff! For Victor...he counts it all as joy!” Trust us, folks..you do NOT want to miss Kevin in this role!! Be sure to get your tickets for this remarkable and exciting production, which runs May 31st-June 10th!

Happy Friday! It’s time to introduce you to another one of our amazing “Barefoot in the Park” cast members! This week, say hello to Stephanie Judice in the role of Ethel Banks (Corie’s mother)! Here’s what Stephanie has to say about playing Ethel : “What I love about Ethel Banks is that she always tries to make the best of every situation, even when she is made to feel EXTREMELY awkward and out of her comfort zone. She tries to stay positive and be a "good sport" no matter what. Ethel truly has such a great outlook on life!” Be sure to get your tickets for this incredible production, which runs May 31st-June 10th!

Happy Monday, everyone! Introducing our first cast member of “Barefoot in the Park!” Mike Durand as The Delivery Man. Here’s what Mike has to say : “I didn't get involved in theater until I was in my 30s, and my greatest regret is that I didn't start two decades earlier. I have so much fun, even in the smallest of roles. A huge thanks to Charlie & Phyllis for allowing me to be a part of this cast, as well as to all the other directors who have given me chances to keep on playing.” Tune in each Monday as we will continue to introduce members of this amazing cast! Barefoot in the Park runs May 31st-June 10th!

Coming at you on this beautiful Friday to kick off the weekend with some fun facts and trivia about “Barefoot in the Park!” * Robert Redford loathed wearing a suit and tie all day, which was required for his character. During breaks between filming, Redford wore western boots and a black cowboy hat! * Barefoot in the Park was included among the American Film Institute's list in the year 2000 of the 500 movies nominated for the Top 100 Funniest American Movies of all time! Continue to check in each week for these trivia tidbits, as well as for other exciting things surrounding IPAL’s production of “Barefoot in the Park!” Next week, we will all begin to get to know the cast!

Happy Sunday, everyone! I’m sure many of you are getting ready to enjoy the “Symphony in the Park,” though if you aren’t the Corie Bratter’s of the world, you may not be doing it Barefoot in this chilly weather! We are going to be bringing you all some fun facts and Barefoot in the Park trivia each week leading up to opening night, so here we go! *When actor Robert Redford was offered the lead male role in the film, he was surprised. Redford had played the part on Broadway and did not like the idea of repeating himself. Redford believed that it was standard practice for players in Broadway productions to not be considered for parts they had created on the stage for the Hollywood movie version. However, Redford decided to do the film, making this his first ever box-office hit movie!
