ON The Coaster presents Neil Simon’s odd (married) couple CANNON BEACH — “Barefoot in the Park,” the roman- tic-comedy by Neil Simon (best known for “The Odd Couple”), opens at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 5, and runs through Sunday, May 28. Simon’s play follows a pair of newlyweds, Corie and Paul, as they begin married life in a small apartment in a Manhattan brownstone. They learn that marriage isn’t as easy as it looks, and must reconcile their differences — he is a straight-arrow lawyer, she a spontaneous free-spirit — while contending with a less-than-perfect house, an oddball neighbor and Corie’s well-meaning mother. Directed by Sheila Shaf- fer, and starring Katherine Lacaze and Richard Bow- man as the young couple, the play, if it were a movie, would be rated PG for mild adult themes, the Coaster cautioned.
