Both shows will then have a guided talk-back following the reading with the playwright, director, cast, and audience. Help TRTC be a hub for nurturing new plays and the brilliant playwrights who create them. They are the backbone of our craft. Tickets available soon.

You Can’t Take It with You
2023-02-17 19:30 - 21:00
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
Directed by Missy Moore
At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirby’s. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the Kirby’s, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by the Kirby’s, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of view. Meantime, Tony, who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not give her up, and in the end, Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores, particularly since he happens in during a visit by an ex-Grand Duchess, earning a living as a waitress. No mention has as yet been made of the strange activities of certain members of the household engaged in the manufacture of fireworks; nor of the printing press set up in the parlor; nor of Rheba and her friend Donald; nor of Grandpa’s interview with the tax collector when he tells him he doesn’t believe in income tax.

Get Happy! A Celebration of Judy Garland

Musical Direction by Joshua Zecker-Ross
Get Happy! is a cabaret saluting Judy Garland, the world’s greatest entertainer- starring and conceived by Jenna Pastuszek with Broadway’s Joshua Zecher-Rosson the keys!

What is it about her that continues to build new generations of infatuated admirers? Join Jenna and Joshua in this celebration of the world’s greatest entertainer. This isn’t a traditional Judy Garland tribute— there will be no impersonation here. Instead, lifelongJudy fans will love the cleverly curated playlist of beloved classics and forgotten gems while millennials and Gen Zers will discover an artist who truly transcends time.
It’s time to celebrate live entertainment again, so “Forget your troubles, come on, GET HAPPY!”
