‘You Can't Take It With You’ is a whimsical Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway play that was transformed into an Academy Award winning film, and now it comes to Lansing’s Starlight Dinner Theatre (April 22 – May 1). This is the story of the zany and carefree Sycamore household, presided over by Grandpa Vanderhof (Ed Baker), other household characters include: Penny Sycamore (Linda Granger), Grandpa's daughter and husband Paul (Jim Thorp), who makes firecrackers in his basement with the help of permanent houseguest Mr. DePinna (Tracey Dolinar); their daughter, Essie (Angela Dill), who imagines that she's a ballerina and her teacher, Kolenkhov (Leo Poroshin), and Essie's husband, Ed (Greg Pratt), who'd rather play a xylophone than work. The one normal member of the household is Alice Sycamore (Rachel Mender), who is in love with wealthy Tony Kirby (Jeff Kennedy).
Naturally, when Tony’s stuffy and aristocratic parents (Dan Templin and Charlotte Ruppert) come to the Sycamores' for dinner, the event is a disaster, capped with the arrest of everyone in the household. This production is highlighted with one madcap scene after another. But in the end, after some careful self-examination and soul searching, everyone comes to the conclusion that you, indeed, ‘Can’t Take It With You’.
This iconic stage play is directed by Diana Lett. The cast also includes: Susan DeRosa, Gail Dean, Dale Williams, Diane Kennedy, Steve Lett, Mike Ross and Gary Mitchell.
