“You Can’t Take It with You”

Invite your friends, families and neighbors to watch the Exeter-West Greenwich High School Drama Club players stage their version of the sparkling Kaufman-Hart comedy, “You Can’t Take It with You!” A Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “You Can’t Take It With You” has delighted generations of audiences with the hilarious antics of the Vanderhof family, led by the lovably-eccentric Grandpa Martin Vanderhof.

“You Can’t Take It With You” relates the humorous encounter between a conservative family and the crazy-quilt household of the Vanderhofs. This three-act play features live kittens, a visit from the IRS, the Grand Duchess of Russia, fireworks and more! Don’t miss your chance to see this first-class production at Exeter-West Greenwich High School from March 25-28
