"You Can't Take It With You" Auditions
The Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy comes to the Spring Lake Theatre. The Vanderhof household, headed by Martin Vanderhof, and filled with family and friends, is a busy one. Everyone is coming and going and doing what they please. But when Martin’s granddaughter becomes engaged to her successful boss’s son, and his parents have to meet the Vanderhof family, let’s just say they might not share the same ideals.
