Astoria High School Theatre presents “You Can’t Take It With You.” Performances take place at 6:30pm, November 7th, 13th, and 14th, with Saturday matinees at 2:00pm on November 8th and 15th. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.
In “You Can’t Take It With You,” a Pulitzer prize-winning play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, a snake enthusiast, a pyrotechnician, a confectioner, and a xylophonist are among the many quirky members of the Sycamore family who live in the perfect artists’ haven, flooded by creative projects. Anyone with a passion to create is welcome in their lively home. However, Alice, the youngest daughter, seems to have bypassed the creative madness and sees her family as forgetful, erratic, and distracted. She fears her family’s absurdities will ruin her chances at a “normal” life, especially as she finds herself falling for the son of a prominent Wall Street businessman. Whimsy and tradition collide in “You Can’t Take It With You,” a madcap comedy that asks us to question the conventional and embrace the mayhem of an unusual family.
