GREATER TUNA

A Play by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard

Directed by Jeffrey Baumgartner

May 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13

Performances are Friday/Saturdays 7PM & Sundays 2 PM CST

Greater Tuna is set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the “third-smallest” town in the state. This hilarious comedy is an affectionate comment on small-town Southern life and attitudes, but also a withering satire. Adding to the hilarity is that two men play the entire cast of over twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages.

    Danny and the Deep Blue Sea - by John Patrick Shanley
    Directed by Justin Treasure
    Set in the Bronx NY, this iconic play, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Shanley collides us with two of society's beautiful, yet dysfunctional city misfits. After a chance encounter in a forgotten bar, their defenses dissolve and a spontaneous night of heart thumping confession, love and chaos unfolds. With no easy way out, both are forced to dive deep in order to find a forgiveness that offers the rare chance of a more hopeful future. This is an explosive, deeply affecting play exploring the issues of personal alienation and the redemptive power of love.
