Players Run Barefoot in the Park Community Players will kick off its 97th season with Barefoot in the Park, one of the most beloved plays of one of Broadway’s most successful comic playwrights, Neil Simon. Simon, who died just one year ago at the age of 91, was a child of the Great Depression who used comedy as a way of hiding from an unhappy home life.  After a stint in the air force, he teamed with his brother Danny to write radio and television scripts.  The two were eventually hired to write for one of TV’s biggest hits, Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, joining a staff that included such future legends as Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, and Woody Allen.
