You Can't Take It With You

Find out who’s really crazy when a couple of lovebirds bring their mismatched families together. The Antaeus Company, L.A.’s multiple award-winning classical theater ensemble, presents You Can’t Take It With You, the timeless comedy about love, life and living. Set during the Great Depression, it’s the story of two very different families coping with love and searching for the American dream. The delightfully mad Sycamore family celebrates independence and freedom from convention, always with the requisite amount of chaos. The exacting Kirby family believes in rules, hard work and rigid organization. Merry mayhem ensues when Alice Sycamore falls in love with Tony Kirby—and Tony brings his conservative, straight-laced parents to the bohemian, freethinking Sycamore family residence for dinner. Literal and figurative fireworks erupt over the course of the evening. Oct 11 – Dec 9; The Antaeus Company, 5112 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601; $15-$34; (818) 506-1983; www.Antaeus.org.
