2. You Can't Take It With You

The Community Players wrap up their 96th season with the classic comedy, You Can't Take it With You, directed by Patricia Hawkridge. Meet the Sycamore family, a collection of lovably eccentric incompetents, who keep a printing press in the parlor, manufacture fireworks in the basement, are friends with an ex-Grand Duchess, and include a Grandpa who does not believe in paying taxes. When daughter Alice falls in love with straight-laced Tony Kirby and invites his conservative, high society parents to dinner, she orders her family to "ordinary up", which means act like normal people. As with most things in this wacky family, things don't go exactly as planned. Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy reminds us all to spend our lives doing things we enjoy...after all, You Can't Take it With You! July 7-16 - Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 with Sunday matinees at 2:00.
