A Tuna Christmas
by Jaston Williams and Joe Sears

With just 24 hours till Christmas, the whole quirky town of Tuna (the third smallest town in Texas) is caught up in the trauma, chaos and all those wonderful surprises that make the holidays so special.

In this ten-gallon evening of laughs and holiday cheer, the adult comedy with a down-home flavor all its own features two consummate actors portraying more than 30 zany citizens of Tuna. With quick-witted dialogue and over 100 lightning-fast costume changes, Bill McKinley and Brad DePlanche return to play these diverse characters, including all the men, women and children, from on-the-edge mothers to juvenile delinquents.

The eccentric denizens of Tuna are back by popular demand for their 9th consecutive year as A TUNA CHRISTMAS brings down-home holiday cheer. The Dec. 23rd performance will mark the play’s 500th performance at Actors Theatre.
