Barefoot in the Park, Neil Simon’s celebrated comedy about young love in a big town and a small apartment, will open in Pomona on June 16th and will run through July 9th in Pomona. The Bad Luck Factory, a professional theatre company owned by Kaunazoa Productions will present the timeless classic for 16 performances at the Second Street Theatre, 300 West Second Street, located at the Cal Poly Pomona Downtown Center.

Jennifer Jackson and Greg Fellows will star as Corie and Paul Braddick, New York newlyweds beginning their lives together in a tiny apartment on the fifth floor of an old brownstone… without an elevator. The cast also features Tad Atkinson as the womanizing Victor Velasco, who sets his sights on Corie’s available mother Ethel, played by Deborah Krause DeGrado, a Pomona resident. Brycen Deters appears as the infamous “Bell Telephone” installer and repairman.

The Bad Luck Factory is dedicated to bringing affordable and convenient professional theatre to Pomona and Inland Valley families by providing opportunities for amateur and non-union professional actors to participate in professional productions of quality plays and musicals.

Shawn Svoboda owns and directs the company, and states, “We are excited and proud to be able to present our first production in the City of Pomona. This collection of quality actors will delight local audiences with their authentic and enthusiastic rendering of this comedy masterpiece, and the cast is looking forward to providing affordable theatre for Inland Valley families.”
