Spend the holidays with the Sycamores!

"You Can't Take It With You" plays

At Coach House Theatre December 3-20

($10 Preview Performance, Thursday, Dec. 3 only)

 

When the lunatic Sycamore family meets the snobby Kirby family, anything
goes! 

"You Can't Take It With You," on stage at Coach House Theatre Dec. 3 to 20,
tells the story of Alice Sycamore, the youngest daughter of the zany
Sycamore family, who falls in love with Tony Kirby, the son of a prominent
greedy businessman. When the two families come together their lifestyles
collide in a hysterical collision of viewpoints, resulting in a terrific mix
of laughter and heart - a perfect theatrical celebration for the holidays!

 "You Can't Take It With You" is one of the most performed plays in American
theater, and continues to delight audiences seven decades after it won the
Pulitzer Prize in 1937. Director Frank Capra's beloved film version of the
play received the Best Picture Academy Award in 1938.

This production, which features one of the largest groups of talented actors
seen on the Coach House stage in recent memory, will bring smiles and laughs
to Northeast Ohio audiences this December!

 

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU
will be onstage at Coach House Theatre Dec. 3-20, 2009.

 

The Playwrights

Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman are acknowledged as one of the most
successful writing teams in the history of Broadway. Their most well-known
shows are "You Can't Take It With You," and "The Man Who Came To Dinner."

 

The Director

Terry Burgler, one of Coach House's two Artistic Directors, was seen on
stage at Coach House in our season opener, "Deathtrap." As director, he was
at the helm of last season's hit productions of "Light up the Sky" and "Not
Now, Darling!" 

Mr. Burgler has worked as an actor, director and producer nationally and
internationally, performing at the Globe Theatre in London, and winning
accolades for his work as Artistic Director at Porthouse Theatre and Ohio
Shakespeare Festival. He was named Outstanding Theatre Artists in 2007 by
Arts Alive! for his theatrical achievements, and he has won many awards as
an actor and director. He is also one of the two Artistic Directors of Ohio
Shakespeare Festival, which performs each summer at Stan Hywet Hall &
Gardens, as well as periodically at Coach House and the Players Guild of
Canton.
