New Building Tour and PCPA Show

The annual fundrasier partnership with PCPA will be on Feb. 16, at 5:30 pm: Reception and Tour of the NEW building at the DANA Cultural Center followed by PCPA show at Marian Theater, the play is “You Can’t Take It With You”

Cost: $30 for members, $35 for nonmember ticket button below or call 929-5679

About the play: You Can’t Take It With You: Laugh heartily and sigh deeply at one of the funniest comedies of the ages. Kaufman and Hart’s batty reflection on the madness of sanity in a mad world remains as insightful and delightful as when it first graced the stage. Tony, attractive young son of the unhappily affluent Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the joyous quirky home of the Sycamore’s, on the wrong evening. In a house where you do as you like, no questions asked – they encounter the open circle of Sycamore family and friends – novel novelist, devoted dancer, ballet master, ex-Grand Duchess waitress, amateur printer, tax evaders, society shirkers and free thinkers and the evening explodes into hysterical, and all too real, fireworks.
