You Can't Take It With You
Village Players Performing Arts Center

Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended

"...The casting is mostly strong--although Paul Tinsley plays the patriarch of the bohemian family at the center of the story as more windbag than sage--and the production is decidedly above average. As ingenue Alice Sycamore, Jhenai Mootz, in particular, brings a fresh energy to the stage. But the script is showing its age."

"...Village Players’ whole cast and crew merit kudos for this nicely presented ensemble piece. Director Jack Hickey paces his actors well, keeping things moving and the comedy coming. As Grandpa, Tinsley is perhaps overly laconic, but Laughlin does an especially sweet job as Penny, and Palko is wonderfully zany as Essie. Coxon offers some rare comic turns as Donald, as well."
