OLT comedy opens this weekend

Submitted by Julie Ulmer

Ouachita Little Theatre is reviving one of the most popular vintage comedies ever produced. “You Can’t Take It With You” by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart is a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy that celebrates non-conformity. It boasts an ensemble cast directed by Amanda Baker that includes OLT veteran actors as well as some very talented newcomers.

Assistant director Sarah Lewis shared her thoughts on working on this OLT winter production. “Set in the 1930’s, this iconic production will transport you completely to another era. It will have you laughing through the whole show! This kooky comedy is truly one of a kind, and I couldn’t be prouder of the unique cast of characters that is involved. We are truly lucky to have such talented actors living right here!”

Performance dates are scheduled for Feb. 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26. OLT is varying a bit from their regular scheduling by having three matinees for this show. The Friday and Saturday shows on the 17, 18, and 24 will all be at 7:30 PM. The traditional Sunday matinees are at 2:30 p.m. with an additional matinee (no evening performance) on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Reserved tickets are recommended and available now online at oltmena.com or at the OLT office located at 610 Mena St. during office hours. Tickets will also be available at the door. Season tickets are accepted for this show and may be used to reserve seats through the website or in person at the office.
