You Can't Take It With You Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Highly Recommended
"...Community theatre rarely aims this big—or lands this charmingly. The Morgan-Wixson Theatre’s You Can’t Take It With You is that happy reminder of why this 1936 chestnut still works: a huge, game cast, a director who understands rhythm, and a play that practically runs on joy. “You can’t take it with you,” after all, isn’t just a title—it’s a philosophy, and here it plays like a tonic. Cate Caplin keeps the many moving parts humming, letting George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s eccentrics collide with just enough control to keep the chaos buoyant. This is old-fashioned comedy done the right way: big, busy, and blissfully alive."
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...Inspired direction and an all-around fabulous cast overcome community theater design limitations in You Can't Take It With You, the latest crowd-pleaser from Santa Monica's now 80-year-old Morgan-Wixson Theatre."
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...Now onstage at the Morgan-Wixson Theatre in Santa Monica, You Can't Take It With You is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 1930s screwball comedy authored by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman about the eccentric Vanderhof-Sycamore family who reject pursuing money to embrace creativity, joy, and human connection, making the play not so much about plot and storyline as the bizarre, never-resting ecosystem inside the house."
