You Can't Take it With You
by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman

finace home to meet the family, all humor breaks loose when the free-spirited
Vanderhofs meet the upper-crust would-be in-laws. Can the young lovers
survive snakes, fireworks and an FBI raid? You found out at the first

Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
The classic story is set in Grover's Corners, New Hapshire, in the early
1900s, but Our Town is about any place and all places, any time and all
times... and the experience of its townspeople is the universal human
experience. Centering on the story of two families, the Gibbs and the
Webbs, the play shows the magic in everyday life.

a future on the verge of revolution.
