"You Can’t Take It with You" is one of the most-produced plays in American high-school theater. It was first adapted as a Broadway show and then as a movie starring Jimmy Stewart. Now, its soon going to take the stage at Centreville High. The curtain rises Friday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 16, at 3 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 17, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Abbie Bailey and Ethan Welch are the love interests in Centreville High’s upcoming play, “You Can’t Take It with You.”
According to Centre View, "The story takes place in 1930s New York City. “It’s about a bizarre family, the Vanderhofs and Sycamores, that definitely dances to its own tune,” said Director Mike Hudson. “The mother, Penny Sycamore, writes plays as a hobby, and the dad manufactures fireworks in the basement. And the family collects misfits who appear to live with them, so they’re rubbing elbows with a Russian grand duchess and various members of high society.”
“One daughter plans to be a ballerina, but has no talent,” continued Hudson. “And another daughter falls in love with Tony Kirby Jr., the son of a Wall Street giant – with hilarity ensuing when his parents show up for dinner on a wrong night.”
As per Centre View, "Featuring a cast and crew of 25, this play is suitable for all ages. The set will be the interior of the Vanderhoffs’s house, and the actors will wear the period dress of the 1930s. Looking forward to opening night, Hudson says the audience will have a great time watching this show."
