SYNOPSIS

Welcome to the slightly skewed world of Greater Tuna, Texas' third smallest town...where the Lions club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies.  Tony Award-nominated Joe Sears and co-creator Jaston Williams have received ovation upon ovation for their two plays, Greater Tuna and A Tuna Christmas.  They have performed at the White House and on Broadway captivating audiences with the play's humorous view of small-town life through the antics of two guys in wigs and dresses.

REVIEWS

"In fact, Sears amd Williams achieve a goal that's rare for a sketch comedy: We can see ourselves in these rustic bumpkins." "
