'Barefoot in the Park' staged by Fairbanks Drama Association

FAIRBANKS — You would think tackling one of Neil Simon’s best-known plays would prompt apprehension, or at least, a little nervousness.

But when director Bill Wright had the opportunity to bring “Barefoot in the Park” to life on stage at the Fairbanks Drama Association, he jumped at the chance.

“Each run is different,” Wright said. “Having that dynamic doesn’t intimidate me. It excites me.”

Wright is bringing the play to life, starting tonight, for a three-weekend run at the playhouse on Second Avenue. “Barefoot” is one of Simon’s most-beloved comedies and was turned into a feature film of the same name in 1967. It’s also Simon’s longest-running Broadway play, with 1,530 performances from October 1963 to June 1967.
