    Poor Bob. He had no idea his marriage proposal would be so complicated! “If thou wish to marry me, first ye must answer these riddles three.” With this line, Rand Higbee sets us up for a fun read of CHERRIES JUBILEE with one thought in mind: Will Bob answer all three riddles correctly? A delightful short play loaded with humor.

    A lovely, funny short fairy tale that will bring a laugh to every audience member lucky enough to watch! Loaded with witty one-liners and crafted into a LOL ending that is the cherry on top!

    In CHERRIES JUBILEE, Rand Higbee presents a modern fairy tale, and a hilarious one at that! What at first appears to be a simple and sweet marriage proposal becomes a tense challenge. What kind of challenge? Best not to dwell on that. Just dwell on the laughs and enjoy!
