Two Worlds, Two Choices
Classic tale still resonates .
U
sing humor that traverses genera-
tions, The Willamette Repertory
Theatre’s production of You Can’t
Take It With You challenges the myth of the
American dream as two worlds collide.
The Sycamore family is a group of loony
nonconformists living their lives doing what-
ever pleases them. Whether it’s making fire-
works in the basement or putting anarchist slo-
gans into boxes of homemade candies, the
Sycamores concern themselves only with hav-
ing a good time. But when Alice Sycamore, an
office employee at the Kirby family business,
falls in love with Tony Kirby Jr., the company’s
vice-president, the Sycamores are faced with
the prospect of wealthy, stuffy in-laws who are
interested mostly in money and appearances.
It’s difficult not to be fond of the kooky
Sycamores, but the real challenge is making
the Kirbys more than simple caricatures of the
rich, snooty Wall Street crowd. Scott
Barkhurst does an excellent job portraying Mr.
Kirby in a three-dimensional light. By the end
of the play, the audience identifies with Mr.
Kirby, who has left behind many of the same
fanciful dreams that most people abandon
when entering the “real” world.
Philip Davidson shines as Grandpa Martin
Vanderhof, a witty, wise old man who decided
that he was tired of his business career, left the
office and never came back. His insights are
the catalysts of the play, and his defiance when
faced with the Internal Revenue Service is one
of the comedic highlights of the production.
Michelle Morain plays an excellent Penny,
Whether it’s making
fireworks in the basement
or putting anarchist
slogans into boxes of
homemade candies, the
Sycamores concern
themselves only with
having a good time.
Alice’s spacey mother whose kindness and
wide-eyed optimism embody the Sycamore
philosophy. Mark Lewis deserves a special
mention for his humorous portrayal of Boris
Kolenhov, a Russian dance teacher who hu-
mors Alice’s sister, Essie, in her aspiration to
become a dancer. When Kolenhov tells
Grandpa Vanderhof, “Confidentially, she
stinks,” Grandpa Vanderhof’s reply embodies
the Sycamore philosophy. “As long as she’s
having fun,” he said.
Exactly.
You Can’t Take It With You is playing at
the Hult Center’s Soreng Theater through
April 24.
