B-H TO PERFORM PULITZER-PRIZE WINNING COMEDY

    Britton-Hecla is readying the stage for a whirlwind of laughter as they perform their spring production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy “You Can’t Take It With You.” Scheduled for next Thursday and Friday at the Amacher Auditorium, the play introduces audiences to the delightfully eccentric Vanderhof family. 
    Led by the philosophical patriarch Grandpa Martin Vanderhof, played by Carter Chapin, the household is a vibrant sanctuary for dreamers and lovable oddballs who prioritize personal happiness over social convention. The family dynamic includes a cast of spirited characters such as Penny Sycamore, portrayed by Paisley Bray, and Paul Sycamore, played by Wyatt Strong, alongside the creative energy of Essie and Ed Carmichael, brought to life by Baylee Bender and Noah Schuster.
    The plot thickens when Alice Sycamore, the only seemingly “normal” member of the clan played by Amelia Ingvalson, falls in love with Tony Kirby, portrayed by Charles Schuller. As the son of Alice’s wealthy and conservative boss, Tony comes from a world of rigid order that stands in stark contrast to the unrestrained chaos of the Vanderhof home. The tension reaches a comedic peak during a dinner intended to unite the two families, which quickly erupts into a disaster when the Kirbys arrive early to witness the Vanderhofs at their most unpredictable. 
    The curtain will rise for evening shows at 7 p.m. on both Thursday, April 23, and Friday, April 24, with an additional matinee performance on Friday at 1:30 p.m. All shows will take place in the Amacher Auditorium, and the public is warmly welcomed to attend any performance.
