    A lot of fun from beginning to end. The characters are well drawn and their interactions with one another generate a lot of laughs. This play will speak to anyone who has ever lost a pet in a heartfelt and charming way. Well done!

    This is a light hearted, slightly off skew, comedy sat against a sad loss, for one character anyway. The onset of technology in ours homes is bound to interfere sooner or later, and this play by Kelly displays this to good effect.
    I've never known passed pet be contacted in this way, if I were to try with one of mine I'm sure they would be annoyed I woke them!
    A bitter-sweet comedy, nice.

    Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos creates a krazy kwilt of comedy with Cat Ladies, Ouija boards, irascible technology that'll put haters in place ("You shut up."), gaslighting, and some genuinely heartwarming support.

    "Cat Funeral" packs just the right amount of cringe, chaos, and (ultimately) warm emotions in 10 minutes. This is a memorable comedy.
