It’s not uncommon for two people from different backgrounds to be drawn together. This situation arises in the 2015 Baldwin fall play production, You Can’t Take It With You.

The story is set in the 1930s and it follows the Sycamore family.

“They are very eccentric, odd, and slightly crazy, but they carry on as if they’re completely normal,” Drama Club sponsor Michelle Jenkins said.

The Sycamores’ daughter, Alice, played by junior Jaycee Revo, falls in love with the son of a conservative family, Tony Kirby, played by sophomore Robbie Miller.

When Alice and Tony decide to get married, the Kirby family comes to the Sycamore family’s house for dinner on the wrong night.

“There are many antics,” Jenkins said.

As opposed to last year’s fall production, which consisted of two one-act plays, this year’s production is one larger play consisting of three acts.

With one play, there is a smaller cast compared to last year.

“It brings us closer together instead of being divided into two groups for two shows,” Revo said.

This way, it gives the actors a chance to have a bigger role and focus all of their energy on one production, Revo said.

Though the cast is smaller, it is as diverse as ever.

“We have people who are new to the drama world. It’s exciting to see a mix of new and veteran actors working together so well,” Jenkins said.

Both experienced and non-experienced actors are showcased in the play.

“I’m very excited for the new actors to have a chance to show off their skills. The show was cast very well. I feel like everyone is right for their part,” Revo said.

Also, those not cast in the play itself are still given the opportunity to be involved.

There are many people on the production team this year, handling responsibilities such as costumes, props, and decorating.

Also new this year, the show will be performed for three nights instead of two. Performances will be from Nov. 12-14 at 7 p.m.

“It gives more opportunity for everyone to see the show,” Revo said.

This year, there will be no student assembly during the school day for a performance.

However, the opening night of the show is student night.

The show is suitable for people of all ages. It is appropriate for children, while the time period, with references to the 1930s, caters to adults also.

“Audiences should expect to laugh a lot and be entertained from start to finish,” Jenkins said.
