(Orange,
TX) – Due to a very active hurricane season, Petey Fisk and his animals and
all the citizens of Tuna, Texas have packed up for a temporary leave of absence. Tuna Does Vegas, the hilarious new installment from the legendary “Greater Tuna”
creative team of Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, originally scheduled for
September 19 through the 21 has changed dates.
Tuna Does Vegas now rolls into the
Lutcher Theater for a strictly limited engagement of 4 performances beginning Friday, October 31, 2008 and ending Sunday,
November 2, 2008. Starring the
incomparable duo Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, Tuna Does Vegas re-unites the lovable and eccentric characters from
the ‘third smallest town in Texas’ as they take a rambling romp in Sin City.
The hilarity begins when oddball-conservative radio host Arles Struvie
announces on air that he and his wife Bertha Bumiller are heading to Vegas to
renew their wedding vows…but everyone in Tuna, Texas goes along for the ride! What happens in Vegas
doesn’t always stay in Vegas and the laughter never stops when you’re betting
on the town of Tuna!
Written
by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, Tuna Does Vegas will
feature the favorite characters from the award-winning “Greater Tuna”
productions with some new characters too! ----all staged under the directorial
hand of Mr. Howard.
Tuna Does Vegas balances as both an affectionate comment on
small-town life and attitudes, as well as a hilarious satire of the same. The
eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only Mr.
Sears and Mr. Williams, making this send-up on life in rural America even more
delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, as well
as Vegas showgirls, Elvis impersonators and more!
Tuna Does Vegas will feature scenery designed by Christopher
McCollum, costumes designed by Linda
Fisher, lighting designed by David
Nancarrow and sound designed by Ken
Huncovsky.
