Explosions Rock Fall Production The curtains open on Penelope Syca- more, who is busily typing a novel just because a typewriter was delivered to her by mistake eight years earlier, and on Essie, prancing around the stage on tiptoes. If this sounds strange to you, you ain ' t seen nothin ' yet! As the plot develops the audience views Martin Vanderhof, who quit working 35 years ago and has never paid a cent for in- come tax; Ed, whose annual income was $28.50 and who distributes his wife ' s candies and includes his printed brochures with messages like Blow up the White House ; Boris Kolenkhov, who defected from Russia and is now giving dance lessons; Paul Sycamore, who has a fireworks factory in his base- ment; and many others just as zany! Written by Moss Hart and George Kaufman, this wacky story of the Syca- more family tells of their love and enjoy- ment of life and how they teach one stuffy businessman with indigestion to relax and take life easy. The cast and crew worked long and hard hours to get this production of You Can ' t Take It With You off the ground. There were props to be collect- ed, painting and hammering to be done in order to get the stage looking more like a living-dining room. Lines had to be learned, rehearsed and rehearsed again before the big night. The actual performance meant the guys having to wear make-up as well as the girls, quick costume changes, trying not to smear your make-up or mess up your hair, re- membering your lines, and trying to su- press giggles at funny moments. Stage manager Teresa Dalenberg, commented the cast was very good since many of them were new to a North Side production, I think they did very well. Junior Steve Snyder, alias Mr. Sycamore, ex- plains his technique for ship building. Essie thinks of her dancing career, while Tom Tryon listens intently to the speaker. 18 Fall Comedy
