“YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU” TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE
Tickets for Simley Theatre’s Fall Performance of “You Can’t Take it With You” are now on sale!
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. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of view.
Tickets can be purchased in advance by visiting www.simleytheatre.org. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens and $3 for children (under 5 years old).
Performances
Thursday, November 10th @ 7pm
