Our Rug's Resumé
Our living room rug has now appeared in its fifth show with Thin Ice Theater. So, I figure it's time that the rug has its own resumé:

You Can't Take It With You
Last weekend, Thin Ice Theater presented the Moss Hart - George S. Kaufman classic "You Can't Take It With You". Comedy ensues when the the straight-laced Kirby family meets the eccentric Sycamore family. There is also a lovely message about living and enjoying life to the fullest.
One goal of the costuming was to clearly express the difference between the two families. The Kirby's are neatly pressed and dress in subdued colors, hair expertly coiffed. The Sycamore's are a bit wrinkly, their hair a bit mussed, and their clothes much more colorful. Their friends each have a unique look that reflects their stories and personalities. Our director Eileen set us the goal that the audience should laugh when each walked on stage, before any words were spoken. And at the same time, we tried to avoid making anyone overly charicature-ish or clownish. The play is set in the late 1930s.
Here is the family and their guests around the dinner table:
