Avg. Event Rating (4.8 Stars): Add Review/Comment

2 Actors. 20 Characters. 2 Hours. The "third smallest town in Texas", Tuna and its wacky citizens are brought to life by local stage directors Steve Dini and Jeff M. Hicks, in a rare stage appearance that is a tour-de force of high speed costumes changes, wigs, and dresses! Mr. Dini and Mr. Hicks make this limited-run appearance together to play the children, mothers, old ladies, church biddies, and yes...even dogs of Tuna, Texas!

    This is by far the best in family entertainment performed by quadruple-threat actors...i.e. both stars can act, sing, direct and produce!!! And the two stars have perfected each and every one of the 24 characters and their timing with quick changes (each actor played 11 characters) was impeccable. A great night out!!!!! Don't miss this!!! Collapse

    I don't know Mr. Dini & Mr. Hicks changed costumes so quickly, nor how they maintained such very strict characters! This was such a hilarious show about a very small town in Texas. Even though they each have about 10 characters, it was very easy to tell who they were playing and when (and not just by costumes - these guys were consistent!) Fun show, worth a night out in San Jose! Collapse
