GREATER TUNA is the hilarious comedy about Texas third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies.


?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 long-running Off Broadway hit features two actors creating the entire population of Tuna in a tour de farce of quick change artistry, changing costumes and characterizations faster than a jack rabbit runs from a coyote. Three actors, twenty characters, and a barrel of laughs, y’all.

GREATER TUNA was originally produced in 1981 in Austin, Texas by its authors, Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard. The play’s stars, Williams and Sears, played all twenty characters, and Howard directed. One year after its premiere, GREATER TUNA opened Off Broadway, ran for over a year, and went on to tour major theaters all over America and spots overseas for the next thirty-some years, becoming one of the most produced plays in American theater history.

Show dates are March 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, and 24 at 8:00 p.m. and March 11, 18, and 25 at 2:30 p.m ??
