Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 3, 1968, after delivering one of his most memorable
speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm
rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced
to confront his destiny and his legacy.
Chipola’s “You Can’t Take it with You” is Feb. 24-26
Celebrating 75 years of Chipola College, the theatre department will bring back the
first play performed at CJC in 1951, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU.
Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family have been happily living their zany
lives in his house by Columbia University for many years. This madcap group of
eccentrics, march to the beat of their own drum, with pride and joy. Their hobbies
include collecting snakes, building fireworks in the basement, writing plays that never
get published, and taking ballet lessons. Things like stress, jobs, and paying taxes to
the government are for other people, not for them! But when practical young Alice
becomes engaged to Tony Kirby, the family must straighten up to meet the new in-
laws. Disaster ensues when the Kirby’s arrive at the wrong time and see Alice’s family
in all of its crazy glory.
