2026 SEASON SPONSOR
Pentacle Theatre is grateful to The Lulay Group for their generous sponsorship, the contribution of a much-needed truck to support our Pentacle community. "Our family businesses supporting Pentacle and our community."
Although You Can’t Take It With You was written in 1936, this nearly 90-year-old play feels surprisingly modern—perhaps even more relevant today. At its heart is the Vanderhof household, a family that has made a radical choice: to live with joy, curiosity, and enthusiasm, unapologetically and on their own terms. Grandpa’s philosophy is wonderfully simple—life is meant to be lived, not postponed, collected, or endlessly worried over.
In contrast, the Kirby family represents a more conventional path, one driven by rules, appearances, and “success.” The collision between these two worlds is both hilarious and deeply familiar, and it has inspired countless stories since. You can see echoes of this clash in films like Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Meet the Parents, and The Birdcage—all comedies built around what happens when families with very different values are forced to sit at the same table.
Kaufman and Hart had a unique gift for celebrating individuality while gently poking fun at the structures we build around ourselves. The fact that this play has delighted audiences for nearly 90 years is proof that its message endures: happiness doesn’t come from money, status, or approval—it comes from doing what you love and surrounding yourself with people who let you be exactly who you are.
My hope is that you leave tonight having laughed a lot, felt a little nostalgia, and taken away just a bit of Grandpa’s wisdom. Because in the end, you really can’t take it with you…so you might as well enjoy the ride.
Scott Ramp Director
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Pentacle Theatre in Salem is located within the ancestral homelands of the Kalapuya, Yamhill, and Luckiamute people who have lived here since time immemorial.
In the 1850s, these tribes were displaced by colonization and were eventually resettled on reservations. We celebrate and honor the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz members, their resilience, and their present and future right to this land.

Alice Mary Norton
The family and friends of Alice Mary Norton honor her longtime commitment to Pentacle Theatre by sponsoring this production.
Alice began volunteering at Pentacle in 1985 and immediately fell under its spell. Over the next 35 years, she was involved in a wide range of theater support roles including building sets, stage management, sound, lights, props, play reading, and fundraising as the long-time Benefits Chairperson. She was also a familiar face to many as the cheerful lady in the jaunty hat who delivered Pentacle posters to businesses around town.
Alice’s dedication and accomplishments were acknowledged in 1994 as the first recipient of the Claytene Vick Volunteer of the Year Award. In 2014, she was selected to be a Pentacle Lifetime Member.
Alice loved volunteering and being part of the Pentacle family. So, from her family and friends to you, we hope you enjoy all that live community theatre has to offer, and if you’re not doing so already, please consider volunteering in the future.

She trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles and has performed in a range of classic and contemporary works, including Macbeth, And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little, Picnic, Chamber Music, and Fifth of July Barbara is drawn to character-driven stories and ensembles where listening is just as important as speaking, a skill she continues to refine with every production. She has especially enjoyed working with this exceptionally talented and fun cast! When she is not onstage, she is an oil painting artist, a lover of quirky fashion, and the owner of a special effects makeup business with her husband, Scott Ramp, the director of this production, which means rehearsals technically end, but the notes do not.

SEASON 2026
Dear friends of Pentacle Theatre,
I am honored and excited to serve as Board President for the 2026 season. I have always loved the theater, and when I was introduced to Pentacle in 2008, I immediately knew I had found where I belonged. I am deeply grateful for the leadership of Ken Hermens (President), Katie Lindbeck (Vice President), and Kelli Jaecks (Secretary/Member at Large) over the past several years. While their presence on the board will be missed, we are thankful for their continued commitment to Pentacle through active volunteer service.
2025 was an exciting and successful year for Pentacle Theatre. We welcomed many new faces both onstage and behind the scenes, and it is heartwarming to see our little theater in the woods thriving after 71 years. Attendance continued to grow, and we saw an increase in Season Ticket renewals for 2026. Our financial outlook is promising as we move into the new season, made possible by your ongoing support through ticket purchases, donations, and fundraising efforts.
Thanks to the dedication of Executive Director Steven Trahan, Pentacle implemented several important upgrades, including a new ticketing system, a new phone system, and grant funding that helps us continue bringing outstanding theater to life.
In 2025, generous patron donations also made much-needed improvements to our deck and facility possible. As we head into 2026, we will continue making progress on building and deck enhancements.
We are incredibly thankful for the time and dedication of our staff and volunteers. There are always opportunities to get involved and stay connected to the theater. The 2026 season promises laughter, reflection, and suspense. Thank you for your continued support.
All my best,
Fawnia Oblack
Pentacle Governing Board President
