←Recommendations of Meet the Family

I saw this play and its companion piece "Mystery Date" read at Drunken Owl Theatre. They are both delightful! Kate Danley does a fantastic job taking the familiar situation of skeptical/disapproving relatives meeting a new spouse and giving it a comedic twist. Each of the four parts is light-hearted but meaty enough to give actors a wide range of testing both physical and verbal comedic skills.

Franklin would be such a fun role to play! So much physical comedy, while the rest of the cast tries hard not to crack up and play the rest of the scene straight. Audiences will be roaring with laughter right alongside dear Franklin. Hilarious short!

Sue seem to have a definite type and that type is not to her family's liking. Many laughs come out of the boyfriend's identity and Jane's response to his identity.

One word: Funny! Or more than one word: laugh out loud funny. Reminded me a bit of the movie Young Frankenstein. A nice, clean, FUNNY, little sketch. Perfect for young actors! Thank you, Kate!

A wonderful piece that is good for the whole family, but still has some grip! Loved it!

Everyone thinks they have better taste than us and like we have no common sense to know what's good for us! I mean, after all, what could go wrong when you date a monster? Well done.

Monster dating is rough, but Danley mines it for all the laughs. Every actor is gonna wanna play Franklin. Such a delight!

This play would be a big hit in the tween and teen markets, and really, anywhere! Kate Danley is my new favorite comedic playwright! She has a deft touch with bringing the absurd into everyday situations. Great fun- I would love to see this performed.
