This Pulitzer Prize-winning play about an unconventional family and their unusually eclectic friends will leave you breathless with laughter. Classic comedy takes center stage in this classic American masterpiece. The outlandish Sycamore family plays impromptu hosts when their soon to be, ultra-traditional in-laws arrive too soon for dinner. Sparks fly (literally!) and philosophies collide head-on.

Critics have admired the witty one-liners and the balanced construction of the play. You Can't Take It with You has clearly influenced American comedy. The formula originated by Kaufman and Hart-a loveable family getting into scrapes and overcoming obstacles-has been adopted as a format by most of today's television situation comedies.

The comedy is over the top but the moral of the story is a serious one: Find in yourself the courage to do with your life what you really want to do.
