Award-Winning Broadway Play Hits Arlington Stage

"You Can't Take it With You," the Pulitzer Prize winning comedy by George Kaufman and Moss Heart, is coming to Arlington. Lamar High School's Blue Curtain Productions is presenting a three-night engagement for the entire family at Lamar Auditorium, 1400 Lamar Blvd. See Alice Sycamore introduce her fiancé's straight-laced family to her rather eccentric family. The interaction is quite hilarious. Some critics say it's the greatest American comedy ever written. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults.

Altar Boyz at Theatre Arlington

Altar Boyz is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy band on the last night of the national "Raise the Praise" tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the Altar Boyz will delight you. Performances are Friday & Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday matinees are 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $22 and available online at www.TheatreArlington.org.
