MHS presents ‘You Can’t Take it With You’

MONTICELLO, NY — Monticello High School will present the drama “You Can’t Take It With You” on December 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arnold Packer Hughs Auditorium at Monticello High School.

The play opened in New York in December of 1936 to instant critical and popular acclaim. It relates the humorous encounter between a conservative family and the crazy household of Grandpa Martin Vanderhof – a group of individuals who amuse with their energetic physical antics and inspire with their wholehearted pursuit of happiness.

Among the large cast, lead players include Jennifer Shickle, Zach Gibson, Rebecca Perlman, Dan Cunningham, Erik Mayberg and Frank Segro.

Jennifer Romano is directing this year’s show. Tim Buckley and Dan Svarczkopf are designing and overseeing set construction and lighting and sound. Kevin Dirth, director of Monticello’s music department, produces the show.

Tickets are $5, $3 for students and free for senior citizens. Tickets can be obtained at the door the nights of the shows. For more information, call
