Larry Shue, a promising young middle-aged actor and playwright, had his career cut short at the age of 39 by the crash of a commuter plane. He left behind a small published body of plays, including two crowd-pleasing comedies that are staples of community theatre repertory. His acting credits include stage (New York and regional), television, and film appearances. He won two Obies and two New York Drama Critics Awards.
