The Department of Theatre Arts at Saddleback College presents You Can’t Take it With You by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart on November 3rd through the 6th in the McKinney Theatre. Directed by Craig Tyrl, this charming play won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and was adapted for the screen by Frank Capra in 1938, starring Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur.
Come meet the Vanderhof-Sycamore-Carmichael clan. Alice Sycamore, the only normal one of the bunch, brings her fiancé and his staid parents home to meet her eccentric family and the chaos ensues. Grandpa Vanderhof keeps snakes, Penny Vanderhot Sycamore writes sex plays, Paul Sycamore manufactures fireworks in the basement, Ed Carmichael is a xylophone player, and Essie Sycamore Carmichael is a candy maker who dreams of being a ballerina. Don’t miss this fun romp!
