Staff Report-
The Wagon Wheel Theatre’s community theatre, The Center Street Community Theatre, debuts its first show “You Can’t Take it with You” Friday through Sunday at the Wagon Wheel Theatre. “You Can’t Take it with You” tells the story of two families meeting when their children have fallen in love. Alice Sycamore must introduce her family to her fiancé, Tony Kirby. The Kirby family are very wealthy and self-important, while the Sycamores are slightly odd. The two families come together to celebrate an engagement but collide in philosophy and lifestyle. The Center Street Community Theatre is an organization dedicated to stimulating and maintaining local interest and participation in the theater, according to a provided press release. The organization strives to involve community members in all aspects of the theater giving experienced and unexperienced actors and technicians the opportunity to use and learn new skills and encourage individuals to share their best talents with others on and off stage. Community members featured in the show include Dan Kuhn, Dave Baumgartner and Lori Widman. Kuhn taught history at Warsaw Community High School and Baumgartner is a retired WCHS teacher. Widman works in the office at Lakeland Christian Academy. Director of the Center Street Community Theatre production of “You Can’t Take it with You” Jennifer Shepherd said, “Reviving community theater in the Warsaw area has been a joy. The surrounding communities have many talented adults who enjoy performing on stage, working backstage, and experiencing the fellowship of other like-minded individuals. The Center Street Community Theater is the beginning of another quality program under the umbrella of the Wagon Wheel Theatre. We encourage others to get involved.” Tickets are $12 each.
