Greater Tuna January 22 – February 15, 2015
By Jason Williams, Ed Howard and Joe Sears
What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Rev. Spikes have in common? In this hilarious send-up of small town morals and mores, they are all among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas' third smallest town. The play's two actors play all twenty characters in a revolving parade of uproarious situations. This show’s so much fun you might want to move to the Lone Star state to meet all these crazy, fun folks!Greater Tuna is one of the most produced plays in American theatre history!
