The Jesuit Philelectic Society presents two fall productions with alternating performances on back-to-back weekends. Tickets may be purchased at lunch in the Commons and are available now online.

Barefoot in the Park by Neil Simon tells the story of newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter whose first experiences of living together in their New York apartment bring out the comedic nuances of any couple’s first efforts to cope with life, and each other. Performances are Nov. 10, 12, and 18 in the Jesuit Auditorium.

On the alternating nights, Curious Savage by John Patrick features a cast of seasoned student actors and even includes a performance by Spanish teacher Prof. Nilda Rivera. The high comedy pits greed against kindness as a widower alternates between her step-children’s efforts to deprive her of money left to her by her husband and her own plans to use the money as a “happiness fund” to help people realize their dreams. Performances are Nov. 11 and 19 in the Jesuit Auditorium.
