Dig Deep Theatre is a newly formed theater company started by California Institute of the Arts acting student Shawnee Badger.

“Barefoot in the Park” by Neil Simon is about newlyweds Corie, a free spirit, and Paul Bratter, an uptight lawyer, who live together in a sixth-floor apartment in New York.
