SAP Presents You Can’t Take It With You
Cast and crew are busily putting preparations in place for the Saline Area Players’ fall produc-tion of Moss Hart and George Kaufman’s Pulitzer Prize winning comedy, You Can’t Take It With You.
The Cast: The Crew:
Penelope Sycamore: Sara Honsowetz Director: Richard Deitering Essie Carmichael: Ann Marie Mann Producer: Mary Rumman Rheba: Jessica Rising Paul Sycamore: David Babcock Set Decoration/Props: Margi Chriscinske Mr. De Pinna: Doug Harris Set Design: Dick Vail Ed Carmichael: Kyle Newmeyer Lighting: Mike Limmer Donald: Scott Harris Sound: Kyle Lady Martin Vanderhof: Gary Glover Costumes: Raynette Kemph, Patti Alice: Kara Coulter Lambarth, Kathi Genik Henderson: Keith Opal Tickets: Liz Boulia Tony Kirby: Blair Driskell Publicity: Kara Coulter Kolenkhov: Andy Jentzen Poster: Dana Carlson Gay Wellington: Linda Lee Austin Program: Lindsey Mishler Mr. Kirby: Barry Hartman Mrs. Kirby: Rebecca Groeb-Driskill Olga: Mary Rumman G-Man: Joe Eadie
The Story:
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 Syca-mores, 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 mem-bers 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.

Although technically founded in 1973, the Saline
Area Players' first production was in 1972. Performers
come from all walks of life, drawn together by their love
of the stage. None of them are paid; they all do it for the
enjoyment. In addition to performing onstage, all of the
cast members (along with their family and friends) are
asked to help out backstage – painting or building scenery,
sewing costumes, putting up posters, etc. The Saline Area
Players pride ourselves on our commitment to educating
our members and performers and giving them a chance to
be creative.
