Theatre Arlington presents 'You Can't Take It with You'

‍

This Pulitzer Prize winning comedy is one of the most successful and produced plays of all time, telling the beloved story of the wacky Sycamores and the straight-laced Kirbys trying to set aside their differences in manner, politics and finances to find unity.

Presided over by the zaniest of grandpas (played here by local favorite David Coffee) Martin, the extended family of eccentrics includes young Alice who falls for her Wall Street scion boss Tony.

What follows is a hilarious clashing of worlds and wills, but why worry? After all … you can’t take it with you!

Executive Producer Steven D. Morris is excited for this comedy that has delighted audiences since its debut in 1936 with its message of unity.

“I am sure it will be a smash hit for Theatre Arlington thanks in large part to its timeless qualities and top-notch wit,” he said.

Co-directors Sharon Kaye Miller and Larry Cure have assembled the perfect team of seasoned Theatre Arlington veterans and fresh new finds rounding out the cast of 19. Bryan Stevenson will bring his signature style to both the set and lights, with Kevin Brown dressing the beautiful home of the Sycamores. Newcomer Saul Ortiz is costume designer, and Victoria Esquibell not only stage manages, but has designed a stunning soundscape. Theatre Arlington is truly proud of this creative team, and hopes you’ll come enjoy this classic comedy, sponsored by Wade Funeral Home and Edward Jones.

Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more.

You Can’t Take It With You will open Sept. 12 and close Sept. 28 with the following schedule:

7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays

2 p.m. Sundays
