    The only “impossible” I know is not laughing all the way through this hysterical short from Kate Danley. A missed cue by a totally clueless community theatre actor leads to some wild improvisation. The scenario is truly an actor’s nightmare but what a delight for audiences.

    I want to see this play! Every page is filled with laughs as actors John and Mary cover for Tom who just can’t seem to hit his cue. But Tom’s off-stage comments about missing shoes and forgetting to don his dance belt (still laughing) drive the ad-libbing hilarity on stage giving all of the actors a chance to shine. A wonderful comedy by Kate Danley.

    "CUE" is a delightful romp through the backstage antics of a community theater production, filled with laughter and absurdity. Its sharp wit and comedic timing make it an enjoyable experience for audiences looking for a lighthearted comedy. Just a delightful play!
