You Can't Take It With You

by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman

Directed by Steven Woolf


September 8 – October 3

Major Sponsor:

Escape into the delightfully daffy world of the eccentric Sycamore family, where everyday routines include exploding fireworks, collecting snakes and a twirling ballerina.  When “normal” daughter Alice announces her boyfriend’s rich, conservative parents are coming to dinner, the family promises to behave, but when the guests show up, all bets are off. Winner of a Pulitzer Prize, this classic comedy is pure fun.

Perhaps the most perfect comedy ever written for the stage. A warm, romantic and very funny play written by the masters of laugh-filled plays.
