Anthony Greco as "Paul Bratter ",
Producer & Director
Since his first and only actual performance on the Center Players stage, back in 2006 with his Perry nominated portrayal of Jay in Lost in Yonkers, Anthony is glad to return to the stage for another Neil Simon classic. An active board member, Anthony directed last year's successful productions of 20th Century, 12 Angry Men and this fall's riveting production of Doubt. Although Anthony has appeared in dozens of shows throughout Monmouth & Middlesex Counties he has recently spent more time devoted to directing, some of his favorite projects include: You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Gypsy, Oliver!, Barefoot in the Park, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 12 Angry Jurors, Seussical, Once Upon A Mattress, Bye Bye Birdie, and The Odd Couple. Anthony is the resident director at Monmouth Regional High School where he is currently in rehearsals for the Monmouth County premiere of the Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone this April and is the Director of the Seashore Players at the Seashore Day Camp & School in Long Branch.

Kara Krichman as "Corie Bratter"
Kara is elated to be a part of Barefoot in the Park. Kara attends Wagner College as a Theatre Performance major. Favorite roles include Julia in The Wedding Singer, Polly in Crazy for You, Miss Dorothy in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Fastrada/Choreographer in Pippin, and even a youthful stint in another Neil Simon classic, Brighton Beach Memoirs when she was twelve years old. She has also performed onstage at Surflight Theatre and the Cherry Lane Theatre in NYC. Love and thanks to the Center Players for such a "marvelous" opportunity!

Paul Nixon as "Delivery Man"
Paul is happy to return to the Center Players stage AND to the breathless role of the Delivery Man after appearing in Two River Theatre Company's production last year. Paul may be remembering for his performances as Henry Benish in Play On, Tom Garrison in I Never Sang for my Father, Norman Thayer in On Golden Pond, Matthew Clark in Twentieth Century, and Juror #9 in 12 Angry Men. Among his other roles in this area have been as Al Lewis in The Sunshine Boys, Candy in Of Mice and Men, and his favorite part as Mr. Green in Visiting Mr. Green at the Strand in Lakewood. He is very happy to return to Freehold with a fine director, an excellent cast, and one of the most pleasant theaters in the area.

Louis Palermo as "Victor Velasco"
Louis has been with Center Players for what seems to be a lifetime. He enjoys directing, set building, acting, producing, and everything else that spells theater. "Returning to the role of Velasco has been very dear to me and connects me to the actors working in the production in a special way. Steve and I worked together a long time ago in 12 Angry Men and I'm happy to see him again. Paul, I directed you in On Golden Pond and you always steal the show. Colleen, I work with you in many situations from board member to stage manager and now actor, you are a pleasure to work with. Kara, it's a first time for us but a real pleasure. Anthony, what can I say about you? You do it all and do it all well. Thank you for wanting me in your production and building our set together. To my family, thank you for putting upwith my hobbies. And a special thank you to Stevie for her time and marvelous input."
