VORTEX’s Summer Youth Theatre presents You Can't Take It with You, a comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. You Can't Take It with You presents the world of an extraordinary family who live a celebration of individuality. Like a string of firecrackers, this play unfolds with sparkling surprises and jewels of non-conformity, honoring the values of authenticity and uniqueness in life. You Can't Take It with You is a delightful comedy that tastes like a piece of “homemade Love Dream candy” and looks like “the most beautiful red fire in the world”. You Can’t Take it With You won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

      “You Can’t Take it With You” is an enjoyable show that will keep you laughing. The VORTEX Repertory Company's Summer Youth Theatre prides itself on never shying away from challenging material. This is no exception. I have seen this script done many times by both adults and youth. The script is hilarious filled with word play, sight gags, and hidden innuendos. While all the performers should be commended for their bravery and hard work at bringing this play to life, three young actors truly stood out: Harley Roberts, Cassidy Timms & Cooper Acord. It is difficult for even the most experienced actor to remember, with such comical writing, to play the truth of the characters and not just the humor. When an actor succeeds in bringing that honesty, the audience is left in stitches. These three succeeded in that honesty. At the end there is an opportunity to make a donation to this tuition-free program. If the work done by these kids is any indication of program quality, give generously. Collapse
