Set in the home of Martin Vanderhof — known affectionately as Grandpa — the play introduces audiences to a delightfully unconventional household living "just around the corner from Columbia University — but don't go looking for it." Grandpa presides over a lively family of charming eccentrics who pursue their passions with little concern for society's expectations. Grandpa's granddaughter Alice loves her family deeply, but she often finds herself embarrassed by their unconventional lifestyle. When Alice falls in love with Tony Kirby, a handsome young man from a wealthy Wall Street family, she fears their two very different worlds will never mix. When the Kirby family finally comes to dinner with the Vanderhof household, sparks fly and hilarity ensues. Through laughter and chaos, the play gently reminds us of a simple truth: money and status matter far less than happiness, love, and living life on your own terms—because, after all, you can't take it with you.
