Show Information:

By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman

Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family, the Sycamores, have been happily
living their zany lives in his house for many years. This family (and their
friends) are a madcap group of eccentrics, marching to the beat of their
own drum, with pride and joy. But when practical young Alice Sycamore
becomes engaged to her company’s  Vice President Tony Kirby, the Vanderhof/
Sycamore clan must straighten up to meet the new in-laws. Disaster ensues
when the Kirbys arrive at the wrong time. Can the two families find a way
to accept each other, and more importantly, will love win out?

*Character Breakdown: *The director hopes to make this cast as diverse as
possible without changing the text.
