CityRep Presents A TUNA CHRISTMAS, Through 12/12

Oklahoma City-Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre (CityRep) presents the rollicking, two-man tour de force, A TUNA CHRISTMAS by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard.  A TUNA CHRISTMAS is the sequel to the audience favorite GREATER TUNA, where we welcome beloved characters like Vera Carp and Aunt Pearl Burris, and meet several new ones-including Inita Goodwin and Helen Bedd, who wait tables and cover the drive-thru at the local Tastee Kreme.  Radio OKKK news personalities Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie are there to reintroduce us to all the denizens in the third-smallest town in Texas.
 
Starring in the CityRep production are Oklahoma City and CityRep favorites Jonathan Beck Reed and Donald Jordan, both of whom have won awards and delighted audiences for previous incarnations of the Tuna, Texas characters.  For the last two seasons we completely sold out the original run of the production, as well as added performances.  Therefore we strongly urge theatregoers to reserve NOW for this production.
 
CityRep Artistic Associate Michael Jones directed the production, which will be restaged by CityRep Production Stage Manager Steve Emerson.  Set Design is by Don Childs and Donald Jordan, Lighting Design by John Fowler, Costume Design by Jane Childs, additional Costume Design by Aaron Patrick Turner and Danielle Trebus, Sound Design by Will Burns, and Properties Design by Josh Cain.
 
A TUNA CHRISTMAS will play in the CitySpace Theatre at the Civic Center Music Hall at 201 N. Walker in downtown Oklahoma City.  Previews begin on Friday, November 19 at 8:00 pm, with a matinee preview on Saturday, November 20 at 4:00 pm.  The Opening Night is Saturday, November 20 at 8:00 pm and the production runs for sixteen performances through Sunday, December 12, closing with a 2pm Matinee performance on that day.
