 [u±cfUE “You Can’t Take It With You.” a comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, was presented by Wig Masque November 18 and 19 in the PHS audito- rium at 8 p.m. The play is set in the depression and centers around the lives of the Sycamore family. The family consists of Paul and Penny Sycamore, their daughters Essie Carmichael and Alice Sycamore. Essie’s hus- band Ed Carmichael, and Grandpa. Mr. DePinna, a fireworks specialist, and Rheba, the maid, are also always around. When the family isn’t occupied with Essie’s ballet or with her and Ed’s candy business, their time is spent on Alice’s romance with Tony Kirby, Grand- pa’s problems with the government, or just being understood by the “normal” world. Everything turns to general havoc when the normal upper-class Kirbys call on the Sycamores and encounter the slightly tipsy Gay Wellington, who has dropped by to read for a part in one of Penny’s plays, and Mr. Kolenkhov. who interrupts his ballet lesson with Essie to wrestle with Mr. Kirby. On top of all of this. Grand Duchess Olga comes by and invites her- self to dinner. aomzciy Penny Sycamore ..................Erin Lonergan Essie......................................Laura White Rheba............................Chris Carlton Paul Sycamore................................Dan Ewing Mr. De Pinna ................Arlyn Eisenbrandt Ed...........................Greg VanDeVoort Donald.......................Joel Lichtenwalter Martin Vanderhof.............................Bob Barnes Alice ...........................Jann Erickson Mr. Henderson...............................Mark Summer Tony Kirby..................................Greg Loock Boris Kolenkhov..............................Jim Barnes Gay Wellington......................Janet Fife Mr. Kirby...................................Mark Smith Mrs. Kirby......................Laurie Graham Three Men...................................Dave Loock, Mark Summer, Dave Dahl Duchess Olga..............................Carrie Hull Director.....................Mrs. Helen Sprague Co-Student Directors ........................Sue Fiene Kathleen Lonergan Co-Stage Managers................Kerri Markwell, Janice Simmons The Sycamores sit down to dinner.
