[SDS] Fall Show Decision has been Made!

[Michael Cahill]

Hello All!

I hope your summers are going well! A decision has been made for which show
*we are applying for rights**: *You Can't Take it With You*. This show was
chosen because it's a good quality script that actors can really sink their
teeth into, and the substance of the drama far out-weighed the additional
flexibility of the other options.

*Full disclosure: I'd like to stress that the phrase *applying for
rightsdoes not guarantee that this show is what will be performed
* - only when rights are obtained can that be confirmed. We just want to
keep everyone in the loop - so basically this email says this is the show
we want to put on.

*Here's show info again:*
*Cast:* 7 female, 12 male
*Synopsis:*
At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that
if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. In contrast to these
delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony,
attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and
brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening. The
shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows
Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores,
however, though sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of
view. Meantime, Tony, who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people
wrong, will not give her up, and in the end Mr. Kirby is converted to the
happy madness of the Sycamores, particularly since he happens in during a
visit by an ex-Grand Duchess, earning her living as a waitress. No mention
has as yet been made of the strange activities of certain members of the
household engaged in the manufacture of fireworks; nor of the printing
press set up in the parlor; nor of Rheba the maid and her friend Donald;
nor of Grandpa's interview with the tax collector when he tells him he
doesn't believe in the income tax.
