SYNOPSIS

This Yuletide sequel to last year's hit Greater Tuna promises to give us all a whole new slant on Christmas.  It appears the Smut Snatchers are at it again, this time attempting to have "Silent Night" banned: seems decent people just don't sing about round, young virgins.  Now this is Christmas!

REVIEWS

"But if you are an adult, bring along your friends for an evening of merriment.  It's one of those productions that you have to see to appreciate.  I guarantee that you won't be sorry."

- Westminster Herald

" 'A Tuna Christmas' is a love letter to a vanishing part of America.  It's the kind of performance which could only happen in live theater.  It's something nobody should miss. "

- San Gabriel Valley Tribune
