term,” said Whitten about the sets
for “Barefoot in the Park.”
The set was filled with a real
fridge, wood stove and stairs that
lead up to the top of the roof.
“We are trying to tell the same
story, all at the same time,” said
Whitten.

the Park” was written by Neil
Simon and originally opened on
Broadway in 1963. It was a huge
