You Can't Take It with You
Plymouth Community Theatre presents "You Can't Take it With You"

Written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart

Directed by MIke Pevzner

You Can't Take It with You is a comedic play in three acts by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The original production of the play opened at the Booth Theater on December 14, 1936, and played for 838 performances.

The play won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and was adapted for the screen as You Can't Take It With You, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director.

The story takes place entirely in the large house of a slightly batty New York City family. Various characters in the lives of the Vanderhof/Sycamore/Carmichael clan.

The play was the basis for the 1938 film directed by Frank Capra. The film cast included James Stewart, Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, Edward Arnold, Spring Byington, Ann Miller, Dub Taylor, Charles Lane, Mischa Auer, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, and the uncredited Arthur Murray. It was awarded the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director of 1938.

Edward Dowling
Henderson, G-Man #2

Ed needs no encouragement to ham it up in front of an audience. Ed has performed previously in productions with PCT and Bay Players. He clearly enjoys this cast and director Michael Pevzner. He shamelessly follows Marianne Withington, the love of his life, like a puppy dog in this production.

Bill Driscoll
G-Man #3

Since then he has appeared in numerous PCT productions; radio productions of A Christmas Carol (as Bob Cratchet) on WUMD & WATD; The Man Who Came to Dinner and The Matchmaker with Bay Players; Nicky and Dee with The Pinehills Players; The Night Nurse and Signs of Life with The Theater at Hollywood and Vine; and An Evening with Cole Porter with Nemasket River Productions.

Brittany Foley
Essie Carmichael

Brittany is excited to be a part of this amazing show! Brittany majored in Theater as an undergrad at Northeastern University and was involved in both performance and technical aspects of productions. Brittany's most favorite role in recent years was Katherine Schaub in Radium Girls while at Northeastern University in 2012. Brittany has also been involved in independent film work for several years. Brittany currently teaches English at the high school level and is the Drama Advisor at her school.

Phil Hebert
Grandpa

Phil's first love is Hollywood and he's been blessed to have worked with over 250 movie stars. He's also done a dozen television commercials. Favorite movie principal roles were Mr. Needlebaum in Maiden Heist starring Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken, William H. Macy and Marcia Gay Harden, and The Cutman Mr. Aliano in The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo. Appearing as The Umpire in the T.V. series Brotherhood starring Jason Issacs may not have been his greatest achievement, but it was his first on-camera speaking role! When not filming, he's on the stage, and favorite roles include The Narrator in Our Town and Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. His most enduring and satisfying roles have been as husband to wife Denise and father to his two fabulous children Marc and Lauren! Also thanks to everyone in the audience who bothered to read this bio.
