You Can’t Take It with You
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman

September 30 to October 11, 2009
Act 1’s 40th Anniversary Season season opens with the Pulitizer Prize-winning masterpiece by the undisputed masters of American comedy. Called by the New York Times, “the best comedy these authors have ever written,” Kaufman and Hart’s hilarious love story pits the rather unconventional Sycamore family—a bunch of mad eccentrics—against the rich, conservative Kirby family. The Sycamores agree to an air of normalcy for an introductory dinner party, but when the Kirbys arrive on the wrong evening, a wild night of harebrained and happy lunacy ensues.
