You Can't Take It With You (2018)

Turning CSF’s deep bench of character actors loose inside the world of "You Can’t Take it With You" will be a joy to watch. I’ll be there, front row.

Timothy Orr, Producing Artistic Director

...[T]he comedy revels in zany antics and unabashed silliness to draw its laughs.

A.H. Goldstein, Daily Camera

"In other productions, you’re often working with people who are all in the same place professionally, and it feels more like a job—it’s all very professional, but it doesn’t have the same passion and joy. There’s a great pleasure in working with people who are in it for the fun of it, who really enjoy grabbing pizza after rehearsal and going on hikes together. Plus, the audiences are so great and enthusiastic. There’s nothing like performing in the summertime up in Boulder."

Sam Gregory (Grandpa Martin Vanderhof)

"The Colorado Shakespeare Festival mounts the play perfectly...Laughs were constant, both at perfectly delivered one-liners and at the overall hilarity of the play."

Barbara Peterson, Wyoming in Motion

"The stage bristles with talent; it’s rare to see a cast so exuberant, vibrant and daring, a group of actors willing to throw themselves into every little bit and shtick with such unabashed enthusiasm."

Juliet Wittman, Westword

"The show is a light, unobtrusive comedy, but it makes important points about the importance of respect and love. It's a message that Shakespeare surely would have recognized."

Adam Goldstein

"Though its title is certainly a truism, the play easily takes the cake as the most entertaining and enjoyable entry on the 2018 CSF slate."

Gary Zeidner, Boulder Weekly
