Neil Simon, the Bard of one-liners, will be saluted by Cincinnati Shakespeare this summer with a revival of oldie-but-goodie “Barefoot in the Park.” (How old? The movie version of the stage comedy about opposites-attract newlyweds adjusting to marriage in an NYC fifth-floor walk-up starred Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.)
“Barefoot” opens for a four-week run July 18. Shakespeare has yet to cast a free-spirited bride for its Summer Fling, but the cast will include Sherman Fracher as her uptight mom, Chris Guthrie, Justin McCombs, Michael Bath and Bill Hartnett. Matt Johnson directs.
