April 17, 2024

Second Street Players and Director Doug James will present the madcap comedy, “You Can’t Take it with You,” from Friday to Sunday, April 19 to 21, and April 26 to 28, at the Riverfront Theater; 2 S. Walnut St., Milford.

Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m., and Sunday shows begin at 2 p.m. Seats are $22 with a $1 discount available to seniors, students and theater members. 

Written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, “You Can’t Take it with You” won a Pulitzer Prize and was adapted for the screen, winning Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.

Alice Sycamore, who works in an office on Wall Street, is the normal member of a very eccentric family who have found the recipe for their own wacky happiness. Tony Kirby, a recent college graduate who works as vice president in his father’s business on Wall Street, comes from a very proper, strait-laced, conservative family. Meeting at work, Alice and Tony fall in love and become engaged. Their families are to meet, but chaos ensues when Tony shows up with his parents at Alice’s house for dinner on the wrong day. Can two families with such different values get along? Can the love between Alice and Tony survive?
