SYNOPSIS
Oh, What a Tangled Web is a one-act comedy by John R. Carroll. The play centers around a girl who is invited on a date with a young man she really likes, but her job will not let her off work to go. Instead, she conjures up an excuse to get out of work that results in a large mix-up involving several people.

On an impulse, a young girl makes up a story, and the complications that result from it are extremely funny. Suddenly needing an excuse, the girl fumbles for a moment and then blurts out that there has been a death in the family. Actually, the only thing wrong in this family is that the cat is missing. In any case, people start coming over to express their concern and sympathy. The parents think they're referring to the missing cat and the hilarious complications just continue to multiply!

Cast: 4 women, 4 men
