The Seeing Place presents the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy that proves love—and laughter—conquer all.
You Can’t Take It With You is a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, first performed on Broadway in 1936 during the Great Depression. Despite economic hardship, the play brought laughter and hope to American audiences, and it still does today.
The story centers on the delightfully eccentric Sycamore family. In this household, everyone does what brings them joy: one writes plays that never get finished, another makes fireworks in the basement, and Grandpa simply refuses to pay taxes. Chaos reigns, but it’s the kind of chaos that reminds us what it means to really live.
When Alice Sycamore falls in love with Tony Kirby, the son of a wealthy, uptight Wall Street family, their worlds collide. Can love withstand the clash between joyful nonconformity and strict social expectations?
A true ensemble piece, You Can’t Take It With You is filled with vibrant characters, sharp wit, and moments of unexpected depth. Beneath the humor lies a powerful message that resonates with audiences today just as much as when it first premiered on Broadway.
WHEN: Our MainStage will bring this masterpiece to life on Friday, Saturday, September 12-13, at 7:00 pm, and Sunday, September 14, at 3:00 pm.
WHERE: The Seeing Place. 315 Winchester Road, Jacksonville, NC 28540.
TICKETS: Tickets are $20 for adults in the Gold Seating, $17 for adults in the Silver Seating, and $12 for children under 12.

A Christmas concert
about the gifts that matter most.
In a season that can feel overwhelming with endless obligations and pressure to create "perfect" holidays, The Gift of Christmas offers a different path forward—celebrating the gifts that truly matter.
This moving Christmas concert acknowledges that the holidays aren't always easy, whether you're missing loved ones, navigating complicated family dynamics, or feeling exhausted by the pressure to do more and be more. At the same time, many love the season's merriment and joy.

The journey culminates in the ultimate gift—The Reason for the Season—offering peace when holidays feel chaotic, love when families feel fractured, and hope when seasons feel dark.
Whether your Christmas feels joyful, difficult, or somewhere in between, this concert creates space for your actual story while reminding you that the most precious gifts can't be purchased... they can only be shared.

A Christmas Carol: THE MUSICAL!
Broadway luminaries Alan Menken (Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Disney's The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Anastasia, Once on This Island) breathe fresh new life into the timeless tale.
In this beloved Christmas musical, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley and three spirits - Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Through these supernatural encounters, Scrooge journeys through memories, witnesses the joy he's missing, and sees the bleak future that awaits if he doesn't change.
