A Message from the Director

Thank you for coming out to see You Can't Take It with You! I have been proud to work with Arena Fair over the past few years, so when I was invited to direct, I knew what production I wanted to do. This is one of the most performed shows of all time, excluding Shakespeare, of course. This presents a challenge: How do I do something everyone knows and loves, yet keep it fresh and entertaining?

I'm not going to spoil the surprise, but the cast, crew, and I have worked hard over the past few months to bring something familiar, yet different. We have put together a version of this show that is traditional, yet a bit over the top at times. I couldn't have done this without a fantastic cast of actors, each of whom is hilarious individually. When you put a room full of these people together, magic happens.

Please explore more about the actors by looking into the extra content we have provided. It will give a little more insight into the people who have come together to present you with this performance. I think you'll come to admire and love them as much as I have over the time we've had together. We at Arena Fair Theatre truly appreciate your attendance because, without you, there'd be no reason for us to do this. And most importantly, enjoy the show!
