Episode 25-1121: Two theatrical love letters from the 60s

(00:00) KMUZ Theatre Talk Calendar (13:29) Neil Simon’s classic comedy, BAREFOOT IN THE PARK runs Dec. 5-20 at Albany Civic Theater. A pair of newlyweds is adjusting to marriage. But Paul is a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and Corie is a free spirit of the 60s, always looking for the latest kick. Add in a recently widowed mother, a worldly upstairs neighbor and a hapless telephone repair man and you’ve got a laugh riot. Host Ed Schoaps talks with director Becky Roth and actors Aja Cook and Lexy Macedo. (32:55) Open auditions for the hit musical, BYE BYE BIRDIE are 6 p.m. Nov. 30 through Dec. 3 at Gallery Theater in McMinnville. With its memorable score, lovable characters and playful satire of 1950s teen culture and small-town values, BYE BYE BIRDIE is a favorite of audiences and performers alike. Director Emily Matsuda talks with Ed about the show and how best to prepare for a great audition. (45:14) Wrap-up. KMUZ Theatre Talk airs at 9 a.m. the first and third Fridays of the month on ⁠KMUZ 100.7 and 88.5 FM ⁠in the mid-Willamette Valley, on the KMUZ mobile app and anytime wherever you listen to podcasts.  #MidValleyTheatreNetwork #MVTN #MVTNRepresentatives #theatre #livetheatre #stageplay #onstage #KMUZmedia #KMUZtheatretalk #PressPlaySalem #AlbanyCivicTheater #barefootinthepark #neilsimon #comedy #GalleryTheater #byebyebirdie #musical
