By: BWW News Desk Feb. 10, 2017
New American Folk Theatre presents the Midwest premiere of DEEP IN THE HEART OF TUNA, the newest installment of the comedic 'Tuna' series, which has entertained audiences across the U.S for over 25 years (Greater Tuna, "A Tuna Christmas, "Red, White and Tuna" and Tuna Does Vegas). Written by Ed Howard, Joe Sears and Jaston Williams and directed by Derek Van Barham, DEEP IN THE HEART OF TUNA will play now through March 5, 2017 at The Buena at Pride Arts Center, 4147 N. Broadway in Chicago. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TUNA features New American Folk Theatre Company Members Grant Drager and Anthony Whitaker.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TUNA is a "Best Of" Tuna show that follows the story of Bertha Bumiller and her beautifully dysfunctional family. Tuna, TX is the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more powerful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna - men, women, children and animals.
The production team for DEEP IN THE HEART OF TUNA includes: Anthony Whitaker (set design), Kate Setzer Kamphausen (costume design), Rachel Lake (lighting design), Kallie Rolison (sound design), Keith Ryan (wig design), JamAl Howard (production manager) and Neill Kelly (stage manager).
Tickets are currently available at newamericanfolktheatre.org or by calling (872) 588-5760.
