    Another great physical comedy from Kate Danley! This will be fun for the actors and uproariously funny for the audience! What a great piece to add to an evening of theatre. Make sure MEET THE FAMILY is on the program, too!

    Usually you don't want to start your outrageous play on a highly ridiculous note as it gives you very little room to grow. Not so here, as Kate Danley starts high and still manages to soar to ever-greater heights of ridiculousness. From the disappearing Squatch (while being in plain sight), to using a mister like a cat-deterrent, this play just keeps escalating into new hilarious areas. I loved it.

    Families can be so judgmental as Sue is reminded when she brings home her new boyfriend. The jokes about the boyfriend's identity are pervasive and funny. The play also offers the opportunity for great physical as well a verbal humor.
