Fall Play

You Can’t Take It With You ( 2020 Revised Version)

Thank you all for your wonderful auditions and callbacks!  From seeing some of you for the first time and others who have shown tremendous growth over the past few years, Tuesday ,Thursday had some really wonderful comedic moments from so many of you to the point that you made it such a difficult decision, we couldn’t figure it out by Sunday night!  It is always a joy when the actors and their performances allow us to rethink the possibilities of what a show can be and how characters can be interpreted and that has definitely happened in the last week.  There are also many difficult decisions that coincide with this when we have to cut almost half of the individuals who auditioned and know that these decisions are never taken lightly.  

 If you were not cast, we would love for you to be involved in the technical crew and please talk to Berlin McCoy. 

 If you were cast/ stage management please come to room 617 at 4pm tomorrow (Tuesday, September 1st) for the read through.

  • Character Breakdown

    *MARTIN VANDERHOF / Grandpa ( M): Snake enthusiast. Clever, generous, and wanted for tax evasion, Martin is patriarch of the extended Sycamore brood. He is the definition of non-traditional and provides a welcome home to the artistic and slightly odd.

    *PENELOPE SYCAMORE (F): Playwright and painter. The mother of Alice and Essie and the daughter of Martin, Penelope is hardworking, brilliantly creative, and frank. She writes multiple plays at a time, often concerned with less than savory subjects. She understands that Alice is different from the rest of the family, and desperately wants her to find happiness.

    *PAUL SYCAMORE(M):  Pyrotechnician! Husband to Penelope and father to Alice and Essie, Paul spends most of his time in the basement creating new and explosive fireworks. Paul possesses both a genius for chemistry and a childlike wonder, and although he loves his family dearly, he is often singularly focused on his projects.

    *ALICE SYCAMORE (F): Secretary. In a family of distracted artists and erratic geniuses, Alice is remarkably “normal”. She is in love with Tony, but fears that he won’t understand her non-traditional family. Although she loves her off-beat family, Alice tries to pass them off as normal for the sake of the Kirby’s.

    *ESSIE CARMICHAEL (F): “Non Traditional” Ballet Dancer and Confectioner. Essie is distracted, eccentric and always dancing. She is often found in the kitchen experimenting on new candies. 

    *ED CARMICHAEL (M) Xylophonist and Printer. Ed’s airy, innocent personality is perfectly suited to his wife, Essie. He provides much of the music that Essie dances to, and likes to block print random phrases he picks up throughout the day. Xylophone skills are a plus but not needed.

    *RHEBA (F) Housekeeper. Although Rheba’s official job is that of a housekeeper, her culinary and cleaning skills are somewhat lackluster. Rather she functions as a constructive critic and champion of the various artistic pursuits occurring in the Vanderhof household. Rheba is bubbly, quick witted, and flirtatious, the favorite of both Donald and Kolenkhov.

    *DONALD (M) Handyman. Donald performs various odd jobs for the Sycamores. He is sweet and fiercely loyal to Rheba and his chosen family.

    *DE PINNA (M) Pyrotechnician and “model”. Mr. De Pinna is  the mailman turned pyrotechnician that assists Paul in the creation of explosives. Clever, proud, and a little vain, Mr. De Pinna also moonlights as a model for Penelope’s paintings.

    *BOLUS KOLENKHOV (M) Ballet instructor and tsarist. Kolenkhov is Essie’s tough-love Russian ballet instructor. He is loud, and still bitter about the Bolshevik revolution. This very physical role that requires some fight choreography. A Russian accent is preferred.

    *TONY KIRBY (M) Businessman. Tony is young, open-minded, and in love with Alice. He is vice president to his father’s Wall Street company, but finds the artistic life of the Sycamores to be much more appealing.requires some fight choreography.

    *KIRBY (M) Businessman. Mr. Kirby is Tony’s uptight, overstressed father. He has constant indigestion, and finds his only joy in the cultivation of expensive orchids. He is deeply unsettled by the alternative lifestyle of the Sycamores.

    *MRS. KIRBY (F) Housewife. Mrs. Kirby is the long suffering wife of Mr. Kirby and the mother of Tony. She has a delicate constitution and very particular tastes, but finds emotional solace in spiritualism. She is secretly very bored by her life and would appreciate a little bit of spice in her marriage.

    *GAY WELLINGTON (F) Actress. Gay Wellington is a drunken actress well past her prime, brought to the Vanderhof house to perform in one of Penelope’s plays. She spends most of the play drunk and/or unconscious. This role is especially physical and requires fight choreography.

    *OLGA KATERINA (F) Waitress. Olga Katerina was a Grand Duchess and cousin to Tsar Nikolai II, but now works as a waitress in a diner. Despite her reduced circumstances she holds herself with immense dignity and is still exceptionally generous. She is an amazing cook and is brought to dinner by Kolenkhov. Ability to do a Russian accent is preferred.

    *HENDERSON (M/F) IRS agent. Henderson arrives at the Vanderhof house to alert Martin that he has over 20 years worth of unpaid back taxes. He/ She leaves infuriated and perplexed by the unusual Sycamore family, who seem play exclusively by their own rules.

    *THREE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ( M/F):G-Man 1:The Man, G-Man 2: Jim, G-Man 3: Mac These characters come to take the Sycamore’s and the Kirby’s to jail. They are very physical cameo roles.
