Corie and Paul Bratter are a newlywed couple. For their first home, they
live in an apartment on the top floor of a brownstone in New York City in
the early 1960's. Corie is optimistic about their future together, while
Paul, the more anxious and grounded half of the couple, worries about the
various flaws in the apartment, such as a hole in the skylight, their leaky
closet, and the lack of a bathtub. Shortly after moving in, Corie attempts
to set her mother up with their eccentric neighbor Mr. Velasco. During the
course of four days, the couple learns to live together while facing the
usual daily ups-and-downs. Corie wants Paul to become more easy-going: for
example, to run "barefoot in the park".

Available Roles:
Corie Bratter - (female identifying, 20s-early 30s) Corie is young, bright
and head-over-heels in love with her newlywed husband, Paul. Corie wants to
seize every moment and adventure as she carves out their new life together.
Her insatiable spirit creates sparkling moments, but her immaturity leads to
conflict.

Paul Bratter - (male identifying, 20s-early 30s ) - A responsible, doting,
very in-love husband. Now that the honeymoon is over, Paul is focusing on
his budding career as a lawyer. He can be brazen, but his practical approach
to life balances his new marriage.

Ethel Banks (female identifying, 40s-60s) - Corie's mother. Now, Corie is
moved out and Ethel is an empty-nester and is unsure what her next move is
as a single, unattached woman. She is excited to watch Corie and Paul turn
into young adults, even though her daughter's approach may be a little
mystifying to her.

Victor Velasco  (male identifying, 40s-60s) - The worldly and eccentric
attic-dwelling neighbor to Paul and Corie. He and Corie share the same
"carpe diem" spirit -- his nights are filled with exotic foods, obscure
cosmopolitan nightspots, and serenades.

Telephone Repair Person  (any age) - installs and repairs the Bratters'
phone. Cameo

Delivery Person (any age) - delivers packages to Bratters' 5th floor
apartment. Cameo
