Press notes for You Can't Take It With You read: "Meet the Sycamore family, a zany bunch of free-spirited artists and oddball entrepreneurs. When daughter Alice announces her new boyfriend's rich, conservative parents are coming to dinner, Alice's family agrees to act 'normal.' But when the prospective in-laws show up on the wrong night...all bets are off."
The Seattle Rep design team includes Michael Ganio (set design), Frances Kenny (costume design), Mary Louise Geiger (lighting design), Michael Roth (music and musical direction) and Brendan Patrick Hogan (assistant sound design).
