Catherine Bruce’s multi-faceted portrayal of the looped Ethel Banks in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park – as her embarrassed son-in-law (Chris Zonneville) grimaces – also includes tender moments as she comforts her daughter (Rachel Fischer). The play runs 8 times a week until August 2 at 54 Beckwith Street East. Tickets at 1-877-283-1283 or www.classictheatre.ca (photos: Jean-Denis Labelle)
