WHITE ROCK — Newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter (played by Becca Strom and Ryan Mooney) are central characters in "Barefoot in the Park," the final play of the 2013-14 season for White Rock Players' Club.

The romantic comedy, written by Neil Simon, debuted on Broadway in 1963 in a production co-starring Robert Redford, who was also the leading man in the 1967 film version, which co-starred Jane Fonda.

In White Rock, Marko Hohlbein directs the action, to hit the Coast Capital Playhouse stage for a three-week run starting next Wednesday, June 4.

In this story, Corie is still enthralled by her recent sexual awakening and the adventure that comes with youth and marriage. She wants the couple's passionate romantic life to continue at full speed. Paul, however, feels it is time to focus on his burgeoning career as an up-and-coming lawyer. When they don't see eye-to-eye about their apartment, their neighbours and their sex drive, the new marriage experiences its first patch of rough weather.

The play also features Raymond Hatton as Victor and Cindy Peterson as Mrs. Banks.
