You Can't Take
It With You

Performing Arts Center

October 8–10, 2015

This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic by the team of Kaufman & Hart is perhaps the greatest American comedy ever written. Alice Sycamore must introduce her fiancé's straight-laced parents to her rather more eccentric, freethinking family. When the wildly different families meet, the worlds of the wealthy, uptight Kirbys & the off-kilter Sycamores collide. At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. This wonderfully funny show will delight all audiences.
