YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU In its winter production, the drama department, under the direction of Mr. Chris Schulte, brought to life the zany world of the Sycamore family in an award-winning production of You Can’t Take It With You. The setting is the late thirties and the entire play takes place in the liv- ing room of the Sycamore house. The central plot concerns the star- crossed love of Alice (Ellie Roten), the youngest daughter of the ec- centrics Paul and Penny Sycamore (Mark Cardenas and Pam Moore), for the son of her wealthy Wall Street boss. Alice fears that social status and family differences will come between Tony (Eric Morales) and her. Unfortunately, the sub- sequent action almost proves Alice right. However, ''all’s well that ends well and the lovers, after over- coming a series of obstacles, are fi- nally reconciled, and it is presumed live happily ever after. Among these obstacles are the range of colorful characters who occupy or visit the Sycamore men- age. They include philosophical Grandpa Vanderhof (Frank Rook), a Russian ballet master named Ko- lenkhov (Christopher Boyce) who is also a proficient wrestler, the Grand Duchess Olga (Debbie Puig) whose title is of questionable origin and whose occupation is waitressing. The interaction among these folk during a visit by the wealthy Kirby family (Marc Gomez and Gloria Jol- ley), the parents of Alice's fiance, al- most end the young couple's ro- mance and provide the play with its most hilarious scenes. In the end, the families are reconciled as Tony and Alice resume their engagement. The eye-catching set was designed by Lars Anderson while the effec- tive lighting was designed by Jerry Robinson. 40 You Can't Take It With You caught in a pensive moment between re- hearsals (6) Essie and Alice help the decked Mr Kirby (Marc Gomez), a victim of the wres- tler Kolenkhov (Chris Boyce—not pictured), to his teet (7) Further embarrassment over- takes Grandpa and the Sycamores as a slightly tipsy actress.
