The New York Times

"Two River baptised a 349-seat theater...intimate, involving, audience-friendly...such is the design of this new theater -- a semicircle of seats, not a bad one in the house -- that you can barely refrain from joining in yourself."

THE STAR LEDGER

“Robert Rechnitz’s direction has made You Can’t Take It With You not

only a smashing success, but also the best revival of the 2004-2005

New Jersey theatrical season.”

“J.R. Horne is wonderfully avuncular as Grandpa. Peggy Cosgrave

makes Penny a dilly of a dilettante. As the dancing-mad Essie, Brandi

Wooten can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl…”

“Neil Prince has provided a honey of a set – a lovingly created early

20th century livingroom. Moira Shaughnessy comes up with dozens of costumes that affectionately replicate the world of the 30’s, down to

the apron on a waitress’s uniform.”

“This is surely, easily, and automatically one of

New Jersey’s finest theaters.”

“The Monmouth County based Two River Theater Company

has mounted the classic Kaufman-Hart farce You Can’t Take

it With You on a grand scale with a production that would do

honor to any major regional theatre… [and] thanks to the folks

at Two River and their benefactors, Red Bank, Monmouth

County and all of New Jersey have acquired an exceptionally

beautiful, playable and audience friendly new theatre which

could revitalize the immediate area and the entire New Jersey

theatre scene.  If Two River is able to maintain the high

standard which it has set for itself with its current production,

Red Bank…will become a major get away destination for

theatre loving New Yorkers.”

“Our highest expectations…are fulfilled by the ever-escalating

mad creativity of George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, and the

delightful cast of farceurs under the nimble and inventive

direction of Robert M. Rechnitz.  The high-spirited humor…

continued through the happy resolution.”

TWO RIVER TIMES

“The theater…is magnificent…the auditorium inspires awe.”

“Highlighted by several outstanding performances, this

You Can’t Take It With You  is a delight.”

“Miss Cribbs and Mr. Blew make the central young

couple’s affection contagious.”

ASBURY PARK PRESS

“…a reverent revival of an old-school Broadway hit in an exciting

new setting, rendered with love and performed by a group

spearheaded by Broadway veterans…”

“It’s hard not to want to spend some time in this house

of art and craft and laughter.”
