"You Can't Take it With You": The 1937 Kaufman and Hart comedy is full of wonderful parts and a large cast that will have you rolling in the aisles. 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 4 p.m. Sundays through May 5 at Hawai'i Pacific University Theatre. $14 general; $10 seniors, military, students, HPU staff; $5 HPU students. 375-1282.
