Shoreline Community College is performing the hilarious play, “You Can’t Take It With You” this month.
“You Can’t Take It With You,” written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, first premiered on Broadway in 1963. It is currently back on Broadway. It tells the story of two people from opposing families, the Sycamores and the Kirbys, who fall in love, ultimately teaching a lesson in finding happiness in a crazy world.
The play is directed by SCC instructor and professional actor Bryar Estelle Golden. “It’s not an easy play,” Golden said. “It’s about love. It’s about being who you are, and liking who you are. The theme of acceptance is very relevant today.”
The play takes place in the 1930s. The family patriarch decided 35 years before the story begins to step off the treadmill of a traditional life in order to be happy.
“The play is really about, what makes us happy,” explains Golden. “It asks if we should live our whole lives doing something that doesn’t make us happy because we’re supposed to?”
