Minnetonka Theatre is excited to bring Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy "You Can’t Take It With You" to life as part of its 2024-25 season.
Director James Cada said, “This over-the-top, old-fashioned comedy is a feel-good, crowd-pleaser and considered one of the most popular works of pure escapism in Broadway history. When it opened in 1936, America was worn down by the Great Depression, and it served to remind people that material possessions were temporary and what truly matters is the love, experiences, and relationships you build in life, a message that rings true to this day.”
About "You Can’t Take It With You"
The family of Martin Vanderhof lives “just around the corner from Columbia University — but don’t go looking for it.” Grandpa, as Martin is more commonly known, is the paterfamilias of a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. His granddaughter, Alice, is an attractive and loving girl who is still embarrassed by her family’s idiosyncrasies. When Alice falls for her boss, Tony, a handsome scion of Wall Street, she fears that their two families – so unlike in manner, politics and finances – will never come together. But why be obsessed by money? After all, you can’t take it with you!
