Auditions for “You Can't Take It With You”will be Jan. 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. and

The cheerfully eccentric Vanderhof clan are a zany bunch who pursue whatever activity seizes their passion in Moss Hart’s and George S. Kaufman’s “You Can't Take it With You.” When their daughter Alice announces her boyfriend's rich, conservative parents are coming to dinner; the family agrees to act “normal.” But when the prospective in-laws show up on the wrong night…the fireworks fly! Directed by Clay Nielsen of Madison, the show will be performed on March 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 2010.
