The fall play, You Can't Take It With You, was an extremely humorous comedy. It also was a touching love story and had a definite message about living a happy life. The characters in the Sycamore household were all carefree people who did what they liked and what made them happy. One, Essie Carmichael, played by Samantha Spencer, continuously practiced ballet while her hus- band, Ed, tKevin McCubbinsi played the tuba. Essie's . mother, Penny Sycamore, tKathy Ricei had written plays for years, but never finished one. Grandpa, tTim Parsonsi raised pet snakes and with Mr. De Pinna and Paul Syca- more's help, he made fireworks in the basement. Scott Tabor and David Wilcox played Mr. De Pinna and Paul. These are just a few of the crazy things this group did. The only one who was different was Alice Sycamore tAndrea Baileyi who fell in love with Tony Kirby tBruce Browni. This is where the true message of the play comes out. Alice didn't want Tony's highstrung, rich parents tWes Morton and Denise Lewisi to meet her family in its full glory. An invitation went out to them but the Sycamores i MM! W?ng ,1 a Kevin McCubbins, Tim Parsons, David Wilcox and Rhonda Thomason are shocked by Dena Fuston's choice of refreshment. Fall play a great success i were under strick orders to behave. Tony brought his family over on the wrong night though, and caused quite an uproar because everyone was doing their own thing. It was after many humorous problems that Grandpa helped Tony make his father realize that money and prestige weren't happiness. People should put aside something to do that makes them happy. When Alice and the Kirbys learned this, they appreciated what the Sycamores did. The other characters were Rheba, played by Barbara Jones; Donna, Rhonda Thomason; Ms. Henderson, Re- nee Woods; Boris Kolenkhov, George Gurnett; Gay Wel- lington, Dena Fuston; the Three G-Men, David Haeberle, Jeff Nichols, and Jeff McCoy; and Olga Katrina, Carol Owens. The play was performed on November fifth and sixth. Both audiences enjoyed the comedy and though many of the actors were youngv'a'nd inexperienced on stage, they put on a great performance. The entire cast of You Can't Take It With You take time out to pose with the Sycamore clan. Stay right where you are everybody! The Three G-Men's entry was quite a startling surprise for the Sycamore household. Fall Playw 39
