“What makes You Can't Take It With You so popular and a perennial favorite with student and amateur productions (it continues to be one of the top 10 best-selling plays year after year) is the breadth of characters and personalities on display: in age, race, gender, social status, a true cross section of society when the play was written and also true today in terms of the reality of the humanity on display.” YearsPlayCharacterRealityAgeTodayHumanitySocialTermRaceWrittenStudentsPersonalityCrossesProductionsGenderSellingDisplaySectionsBreadthSocial StatusTop 10 Author:Chris Hart
“Even though the play [ The Best Man] was written a long time ago, the characters seem modern and their struggles to make ends meet and to "have a little fun along the way" have a very contemporary feel. The similarity between the The Great Depression and The Great Recession - as well as the gulf between the super-rich and the ordinary Joe - still rings a bell. One of the things this production accentuates is how beautifully Grandpa and his family accept all kinds of people - rich or poor, black or white - and the best thing that can happen to you is to be part of a loving family.” PeopleMenWayFeelsWellsKindLittlesLongStillsEndsPlayCharacterSeemsHappensFunBlackWhitePoorAcceptingStruggleRichWrittenModernLong TimeOrdinaryProductionsRingsContemporaryAll KindsBest ThingsBellsLong Time AgoSimilarityRecessionsGreat DepressionGrandpaBlack Or WhiteRich Or PoorAccentuateLoving FamilyGreat Recession Author:Chris Hart
