The Show Can't Go On!

In what appears to be her last show, a burned out sketch comedy writer/director shares a behind the scenes look at the "mounting and sustaining" of "Orange Is the New Orange"; a sketch comedy show that skates on the edge of disaster. It's a look at "what could go wrong, that did go wrong." In this 90-minute mockumentary, Orange County Crazies founder Cherie Kerr finds herself in the middle of the most stressful production of her 40-year career. It starts with the first table read and takes the audience to the final curtain--the last night of the run.

Directed by Cherie Kerr, The Show Can't Go On! leans on a strong ensemble — Cherie Kerr, Barbara Wilder, Robin E. Fitzgerald — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2021.
