    A quick change comic tour-de-farce by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, & Ed Howard What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Reverend Spikes have in common? They are among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas. In this hilarious send up that began as a party skit and turned into one of the most produced plays in America, the audience is taken on a single day's visit in the life of a small town where the Lion's Club is too liberal, and Patsy Cline never dies. This eclectic band of twenty different citizens that make up this town are all portrayed by two actors in this Off Broadway hit in a tour-de-farce of quick change artistry, both of costumes and of comic characterizations. Prepare for a rompin', stompin' good time!

        My wife, young teen daughter and I braved last Friday night's rush hour traffic to catch Greater Tuna at Broadway West in Fremont. If you have a chance to come over this way, try to see the latest and I believe zaniest production ever by this wonderful small Theatre company! It was certainly the best comedy I've seen them produce. The two actors (Todd Wright and Robin Dunn) are superbly balanced and handled the numerous character changes and hilarious costume juggling beautifully. Kudos to Directors Jim Woodbury and Mary Galde for spicing up this already colorful and somewhat controversial script. If you haven't experienced a show at this tiny Theatre before, you're in for a rare treat: you can bring a warm coffee to your seat and enjoy the antique ambience of one of the oldest brick buildings in the city while watching this highly spirited show. Anyone needing a good belly laugh and a distraction from the stresses of the season should come on up and enjoy this happy, feel good show. Collapse
