Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family, the Sycamores, have been happily living their zany lives in his house by Columbia University in New York for many years.
This family (and their friends) are a madcap group of eccentrics marching to the beat of their own drum with pride and joy. Their hobbies include collecting snakes, building fireworks in the basement, writing a myriad of plays that never get published, and taking ballet lessons.
But when young Alice Sycamore gets engaged to her company’s Vice President Tony Kirby, the Vanderhof/Sycamore clan must straighten up to meet the new in-laws.
Tickets are $8 adults, $5 for staff and students, seniors, and children younger than five. Tickets will be available at https://pehs-fall-play.ticketleap.com/you-cant-take-it-with-you/ or at the door.
