Anna Shapiro will return to Broadway for the first time since winning the 2007 Tony Award for her direction of "August: Osage County" when she directs Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's timeless Pulitzer Prize-winning play YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. It has been announced that the show is to be produced by Elizabeth Ireland McCann and Joey Parnes.
