A play is

labeled a classic when it can transcend the period that

it was written in and survive as times change.

"You

Can't Take It With You," by George S. Kaufman and

Moss Hart, is that type of play, and, starting Thursday,

Feb. 10, Fayette Community Theatre Inc. hopes to show

just what has made this piece the timeless classic that

it is.

The story

focuses on the good natured but eccentric Sycamore

family. Alice Sycamore, the most normal person in the

family, has fallen in love with Tony Kirby, and must

introduce his stuffy family to her strange one. Amid the

introductions of the two families and the collision of

two very different life-styles, there are many other

assorted oddballs that keep audiences laughing throughout

the show.

"You

Can't Take It With You" has enjoyed a success no

other play has. The play has been revived on Broadway

several times, as well as being a favorite among high

school and collegiate dram departments. It was produced

as a film in 1938 by Frank Capra ("It's A Wonderful

Life"), two TV movies were made in the late 1970s

and early 1980s and there was even a television series

starring Jason Robards in the 1980s.

Fayette

Community Theatre Inc. will present "You Can't Take

It With You" for one weekend only at Sams Auditorium

in Fayetteville. The show will be presented at 8 p.m.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Sunday. Tickets are $8 general and $6 for senior citizens

and students. They can be purchased at the door, at the

Fayetteville and Peachtree City Libraries or by calling

770-631-1542.

There will

also be a special guest before each performance of the

play. Local stand-up comedian Bill May will entertain

audiences with his unique wit and humor. He will take the

stage 15 minutes before each performance, so plan on

getting there early to catch his act.
