Drama You Can’t Take It With You was presented as the fall play on November 17th and 18th. The three act comedy concerned two families:one, the Syc- amores, a band of strange individualists headed by an old grandpa who cheated on his income tax; and the other, the Kirby’s, an upper class family headed by a stiffnecked Wall Street business- man. The two households were brought together at the end of the play by the genius of the old grandpa, who talked his granddaughter and the son of the businessmen into reconciling their only differneces—their families. The play, chosen in early October, was cast as follows by director Herb Tucker and assistant director Robin McFarland: Grandpa, Brian Skarr; Penny Sycamore, Andrea Bates; Essie, Mindy Stafford; Rheba, Jeanie Swank; Paul Sycamore, Mark Beamer; Mr. DePinna, Matt Lagenor; Ed, Ross Spencer; Donald, Todd Wilkins; Alice, Vicki Skarr; Henderson, John Harden; Tony Kirby, Shane Henry; Mr. Kolenkhov, James Soleim; Gay Wellington, Betty McLeod Mr. Kirby, Harold Beamer; Mrs. Kirby, Julie Anthony; Government agent, Greg Richardson; and the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina, Karen Glaspey. The set, a 1930’s living room, was. constructed by Mr. Tucker's 2nd period stagecraft class, and by the actors and actresses themselves. Props, which consisted of an old radio, old throw cushions, several chairs, a china cabinet, an old typewriter,a xylophone, an assortment of china and silverware (accumulated by the cast), and two dilapidated wheelchairs provided the Sycambre household belongings. 1.
