You Can’t Take It With You

September 8-October 1, 2017

Written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart

Directed by Mark Stringham

You Can’t Take It With You is a madcap, idealistic comedy that reinforces the idea that you can only live life to the fullest by doing whatever makes you truly happy. Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family, the Sycamores, have been happily living their zany lives in his house for many years. When practical young Alice Sycamore becomes engaged to her company’s Vice President Tony Kirby, the clan must straighten up to meet the new in-laws. Disaster ensues, despite the best laid plans.

But the rest of the cast — Randee Lutterloh, Megan van Dyke, Andrew Thornton, John O’Neill, Steven Starr, Justin Keown, Vincent Hardy, Hunter Wulf, Jim Mammarella, Whitney Marlett, Christi Eanes, Eastin Kandt and Magda Porter — also deserves kudos for providing a sold-out audience with as much merriment as must have enlivened rehearsals." --Debora Martin, Express News
