Greater Tuna at Georgetown Palace Theatre

The Georgetown Palace Theatre will be performing Greater Tuna, starting May 28th, in the Playhouse, a black box style theatre.The day in Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, beginsas usualwith Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie at the microphones of Radio OKKK, broadcasting at a big 275 watts (at least when they remember to turn the transmitter on). Topping the headlines is the winning entry in the American Heritage Essay Contest, entitled Human Rights, Why Bother? Then, Arles exits, and in comes Didi Snavely of Didis Used Guns; she leaves and gives way to weatherman Harold Dean Lattimer: We have this swarm of locusts that are headin our way from Louisiana, but we figure the dust will kill a lot of em, and the restll probably get blown away or drown in this tropical storm thats headin our way from the coast. Of course, a day isnt complete without the high school football report from Coach Raymond Chassie, who explains why his football team lost 48-0: We lost mainly because we couldnt score.And so the day continues, as Tunas citizens parade across the stage in all their outrageous and irreverent glory, commenting on life, politics, and what makes them (and sometimes us) tick. Note: There is some adult language not appropriate for kids.This production will be indoors in the Playhouse. Masks are required, even when sitting in your seat and groups will be distanced for all events.
