Theatre Bristol presents the hilarious comedy, A Tuna Christmas, sequel to the riotous show, Greater Tuna, and brings Christmas magic to the ARTspace stage weekends December 13-22. Tickets are on sale now at theatrebristol.org/tickets.
It’s Christmas in the third-smallest town in Texas. Radio station news personalities Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie, played by Mike Locke and Fred Dunagan, respectively, report on various Yuletide activities, including the hot competition in the annual lawn-display contest, and Joe Bob Lipsey’s production of "A Christmas Carol" that the theatre is depending on to pay the overdue electric bill. With Locke and Dunagan, Dan Gray, Hunter Johnson, Richard Albright, and Daniel Wallen round out the cast of six who portray 22 over-the-top, eccentric characters, quick changes and all, throughout the show.
Written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard, many colorful Tuna residents, some recognized from Greater Tuna and some appearing for the first time, join in this holiday farce recommended for mature, sophisticated audiences who appreciate immature unsophisticated humor.
A Tuna Christmas is directed by Chris McVey, with support from stage manager Sam McCall and props artisan Rebecca Ryan, along with Luke Gray, Albert Tester, Amy Reid, Camille Gray, and producer Samantha Gray.
A Tuna Christmas will be on the ARTspace stage Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, and Sundays at 2:30 pm, December 13-15 and 20-22. Tickets are $15 for adults plus fees and $10 for seniors and students plus fees, and are available at www.theatrebristol.org/tickets. A Tuna Christmas is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals, concordtheatricals.com.
