PlayMakers Repertory Company
By Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman Directed by Nathaniel P. Claridad
Normal is overrated.
Nov 19 - Dec 7
Meet the Sycamores, a delightfully eccentric, freewheeling bunch with no regard for social norms. But when their daughter falls for the straight-laced boss’s son, two worlds hilariously collide. Laugh out loud with this heartwarming, madcap classic that reminds us to love boldly, embrace joy, and live on our own terms.

Recommended for ages 8 and up. Younger audiences may find this play too dialogue-driven. Additionally, parental guidance is suggested due to the occasional use of mild sexual language in humorous contexts. You Can’t Take It With You contains mild language and conflict. Please refer to our content transparency section below for more information.
You Can’t Take It With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning romantic comedy about an eccentric family whose joy for life disrupts the rigid world of Wall Street. It’s lighthearted and filled with farcical moments, but it also contains some period-specific references and mild conflict.
