Cashing in on an inheritance isn’t always easy -- just ask OJ Simpson or Anna Nicole Smith’s kid.

In Central Community Theatre’s new play Urning It, it’s not the allocation of the will that’s difficult; it’s the trip one family takes to actually claim the inheritance. The family-friendly production follows a brood traveling across the country to spread a deceased aunt’s ashes and collect her legacy. Along the way, mom, dad and kids encounter a series of humorous mishaps that complicate their completion of the journey.

Fridays, Saturdays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: May 6. Continues through May 14, 2011
