You CAn’t Take It With You

by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart
Directed by Lynn Fleming

The Sycamore clan of Manhattan’s Upper West Side is not what one would call a typical family. A glorious collection of contented eccentrics, its members collect snakes, make fireworks, write but never finish plays, operate printing presses, and play the xylophone in their pursuit of self-fulfillment. Among this mix of zany characters is one normal daughter (and the only one with a job) who happens to be in love with her investment-banker boss’s son. Upon her engagement, plans are made to carefully introduce the two families. But when her fiancé and his parents accidentally show up a day early, the collision between the quirky Sycamores and the stolid Kirbys sets off a whirlwind of hilarious absurdities and improbabilities. Engaging and wildly funny, You Can’t Take it With You reminds us what is truly important in life – the wholehearted pursuit of happiness.
