Performances of You Can't Take It With You will feature an eccentric family and a love story between Tony and Alice. Tony's more conservative parents come to visit, a day earlier than anticipated, and are taken aback by what they see. Tony and Alice's blossoming romance takes a hit as a result.
You Can't Take It With You was created by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. The show ran for at least 800 performances on Broadway in the 1930s and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. The show was revived on Broadway multiple times and was even turned into an Academy Award winning film.
