Take It With You, by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, will be 
performed at St. Lawrence University on November 3, 4, 5 and 6 
in Gulick Theatre.

in 1936, a riot ensues when Tony Kirby and Alice Sycamore bring 
their families together in an uproarious encounter that includes 
fireworks, snakes, ballet, jail time, socialism and Russian 
royalty, among other things. In the middle of the commotion, the 
families are forced to confront a more serious difference regarding 
the place of money in their lives and what they are willing to 
sacrifice for money.
	You Can't Take It With You is directed at St. Lawrence by 
Sara Chambers. Set design is by John Larrance; costume design is 
by Hilary Oak. Andrea Nouryeh is dramaturg; Maureen Asher is 
movement coach; Trevor Maynard '01 is stage manager. Sound design 
is by Alice Hessert and students Yvonne Pelletier, Antje Baumann,
