‘You Can’t Take it With You’ performed on two nights

4/26/2013 - 4/27/2013

RONAN — The Ronan High School Drama Department is headed right into another play. On both April 26 and 27, “You Can’t Take it With You,” will be performed at the Ronan Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ronan Flower Mill or at the ticket office the days of the plays. All tickets are general admission and seats are $5.

This comedic play was first performed in 1936 and in 1937 won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart wrote the play. The Sycamore family, at first, seems to be mad, but it is not long before you realize that if they are mad, then the rest of the world is madder. This will be a funny, wacky play set in New York City. You will get in the spirit of this bedlam and have a grand time. Come join us.
