Masquers to present comedy beginning next Friday

Masquers Theater is proud to present our winter show You Can't Take It With You, written by George F. Kaufman and Moss Hart. This heartwarming comedy will premiere on Friday, February 14th, 2020 and running for three weekends through March 1st.

This fun and touching farce has everything you could ask for in a romantic comedy. The witty script stands the test of time with its physical, vaudevillian rhythm. The play centers on a large family of eccentric characters. The head of the family, Grandpa Vanderhof (Bob Jasmin) quit his job 35 years ago simply because he wasn't having any fun. Grandpa sets the tone for this free-thinking and fun-loving family. Their unconventional world is shaken up when daughter Alice (Cecily Hendricks) brings home her boss's son. Tony (Lui Navarro) is a straight-laced businessman and Alice struggles to understand how he will fit in.

This will be Carrie Rutherford's second time directing at Masquers Theater, "I was drawn to this play because of the message and the heartwarming feeling it conveys. At its basic level, this  play looks at American values, work ethics, money, achievement, and status, and how that influences an individual's true purpose and happiness." Says Carrie about why she chose to direct the play. 

You Can't Take It With You has a large cast in addition to those mentioned, Jessica Hogge, Greg Becker, Emma Russell, Andrew Covarrubias, Jesse Huntwork, Mark Beyer, Leanna McNamara, Cecilia Monda, Nick Mahaney, Cynthia Beyer, Rosalee Chamberlain and Mistya Zaleski who is also the Assistant Director. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm with Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are $16, $12 for Seniors, and can be purchased at Masquers.com or by calling the Masquers box office at (509) 246-2611
