Before they go out to eat, Mrs. Banks (Angela Durr) has some hors d ' oeuvres that Victor (Gus Mellado) brought. Corrie (Diane Diggs) wants to throw out Paul (John Sporer) because he won ' t go walking barefoot in the park. March 12, a lively comedy, Barefoot in the Park was presented by our drama department, with Mr. Porter directing. The main characters were John Sporer as Phil Bratter and Diane Diggs as Corie Bratter. Angela Durr played Corie ' s mother, Mrs. Banks. Gustavo Mellado played Victor Velasco, an interior director. Raymond Van Til played a telephone man and Darryl Dorton played a delivery man. The setting is a New York apartment, occupied by a newlywed couple, Corie and Paul Bratter. They had almost spoiled their marriage when Paul refused to walk barefoot in the park with Corie in February. Corie tries her hand at match- making with their neighbor, Victor and her mother, Mrs. Banks. Corie arranges a blind date. After dinner, Victor takes Mrs. Banks home against her will. Corie and Paul begin to fight about Corie ' s mother ' s actions on the blind date. Meanwhile, Corie gets a call and learns that her mother never made it home. Corie leaves the apartment to look for her mother. Soon Corie finds her in Velasco ' s room. Paul leaves when Corie returns from Velasco ' s room crying. Paul returns drunk, and his feet soaking wet because he had been walking, barefoot in the park. 23
