Manhattan Theatre Source is a not-for-profit arts service organization with a groundbreaking purpose:to organize and link the disparate communities within New York's vital off-off-Broadway movement, and to provide a "one-stop shop" resource center for independent theatre artists and audiences across the nation.
From Ground UP Productions comes an intimate revival of Neil Simon’s classic New York comedy. Married for just six days, Paul and Corie Bratter move into a fifth floor walk-up brownstone apartment that boasts a lack of heat, a major leak in the closet, a hole in the skylight and five exasperating flights of stairs.
Nonetheless, free spirit Corie finds the small abode and its odd neighbors charming. Uptight lawyer Paul yearns for comfort and conventionality. After Corie plays matchmaker for her mother and eccentric neighbor Victor Velasco, she re-evaluates her bohemian ways and whether it’s wise to walk barefoot in the park, particularly in February.
Ground UP Productions continues to grow from the ground, up. With every show, they learn more, expand their patron list, improve quality, and raise the stakes. Their firm mission has evolved into producing "The New Classics" - breaking ground with new plays and musicals which they believe are destined for greatness, and reviving old favorites in new and exciting ways. They are passionate about commissioning new work, supporting playwrights in their development of that work, nurturing the future voices of theater, and ultimately providing a professional launching pad for these pieces. They believe in hard work, attention to detail, and honest, vibrant theater.
