April 21,1988 THE LANCE pages Arts & Entertainment You Can't Take It With You Has Successful Run The cast of You Can't Take It With You, which played to sold-out houses during its 3-night run. Bonnie Blackburn One of the finest productions of the St. Andrews Theatre Department took place with the production of “You Can’t Take It With You”, on March 3,4, and 5, and was directed by D. K. Beyer. The production of the George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart comedy was co produced by the Scotland County Arts Council and was designed to be a commu nity theatre work. The cast of 19 had seven performers from the Laurinburg commu nity, and the production crew involved over 95 St. Andrews and community people. The show was sold out each night of its three-day run and the over-all consen sus was that the show was a smash. The show, a comedy in three acts, dealt with social pretentions versus the need to have fun and enjoy one’s life. All those who attended the show came away highly satis fied. The production of “You Can’t Take It With You” signals the return to greatness of theatre at St. Andrews. The production was professional and vastly enjoyable. All parts were performed with skill and zest. Especially fine performances were delivered by Music Professor Rob Engelson, who poru^yed the patriarch, Pamela E. Coble, who played the heroine with real feeling and expression, and a cameo role by Laurinburg resident John L. Thompson III, as a crazed Russian ballet teacher Boris Kolenkhov. Other fine per formances were given by Laurinburg Head Librarian Lois Kilkka, who played Penny Sycamore with a touching wistful ness, and a seemingly tireless Karen Vossler, who played Essie. The next production of the St. Andrews Theatre Department is awaited with high hope for another fine production.
