Alley Theatre Reveals Cast & Creative Team for YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, Begin. 9/25

Alley Theatre Artistic Director Gregory Boyd announces the cast and creative team for You Can't Take It With You. Sanford Robbins returns to direct this new production after directing last season's November. Robbins also directed the Alley Theatre's 2003 production of You Can't Take It with You.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic by the team of Kaufman and Hart (The Man Who Came to Dinner, 2009) is perhaps the greatest American comedy ever written. Alice Sycamore must introduce her fiancé's straight-laced family to her rather more eccentric family. When the wildly different families meet, the worlds of the wealthy, uptight Kirbys and the off-kilter Sycamores collide. At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. Kaufman and Hart's hilarious You Can't Take It With You features the Alley Resident Company of Actors. Recommended for general audiences.

Some of the Alley Theatre's Resident Company Members performed in the 2003 production, and many are taking on new roles now. You Can't Take It With You features Resident Company Members Jeffrey Bean as Mr. De Pinna, James Black as Martin Vanderhof, Elizabeth Bunch as Gay Wellington, Paul Hope as Mr. Kirby, Chris Hutchison as Ed, Emily Neves as Alice, Melissa Pritchett as Essie, David Rainey as Donald, Jay Sullivan as Tony Kirby, John Tyson as Boris Kolenkhov and Todd Waite as Paul Sycamore.

You Can't Take It With You also features Jasmine Bracey as Rheba (Alley Theatre Debut), Alma Cuervo as Olga (Alley's The Baltimore Waltz), Josie de Guzman as Penelope Sycamore (Alley's Death of a Salesman), Andrew Love as G-Man (Alley's A Christmas Carol), David Matranga as Henderson/G-Man (Alley's The Hollow), Anne Quackenbush as Mrs. Kirby (Alley's Ether Dome) and Mike Yager as G-Man (Alley Theatre Debut).

Lighting design is by Kevin Rigdon with sound design by Rob Millburn and Michael Bodeen and musical staging by JoAnn Browning.
