2010 Miracle Yearbook

SPRING PLAY y ou Can't Take It with You. No really, if you missed the spring play, you lost your chance. This year's performance in March and April showcased the Pulitzer winning Broadway show, You Can't Take It with You. This comedy tells of Alice Sycamore and Tony Kirby,two lovers with very different families: the eclectic and eccentric Vanderhofs and the prim and proper Kirbys. The Vanderhofs live life as they like, even if that means writing plays that are never finished or making fireworks in the basement. They accept everyone, from the rather bombastic ballet teacher to the mild-mannered ice man who came inside eight years ago and never left. While Alice is ashamed of her family at first, after Tony meets them, he convinces her that he prefers her bizarre family over his up-tight and controlling parents. Performers had the audience in stitches for much of the play and even in tears with several tender moments. The play ran for two weekends before and after Easter break, giving students plenty oftime to see the show. And they did! The shows were packed out with excited audiences ready to laugh and cry. Everyone was so excited to see the show. Even the actors were thrilled. As Josiah Smith quotes from his character,"Life is running around inside of me like a squirrel!" But it wasn't just fun, it was work for the cast too. Jordan Link comments,"Everybody in the cast was so much fun and the play was awesome... even if it did take 5 hours to put on my makeup before each show!" Ifonly Carolyn Ruck and Josiah Hutchings knew that Jessica Brazalovich is watching from the stair, they might hide their budding love. !
