Greater
Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest
town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline
never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this
town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire
on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict
all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, children and
animals. The show ushers us through a day in Tuna, starting
with the morning broadcast from radio station OKKK and wandering
in and out of the homes and businesses of the denizens of
this colorful community. UFO sightings, celebrity murder
and a used weapon sale all contribute to the hilarity. It's
a loving portrait of rural America, big hearts, small minds,
and all.
Bob
Meals and Thom Bennett played multiple characters. The show
was directed by Dale VanLaningham and produced by Shirley
Ann Minehart and Kelly VanLaningham.

filled with the bittersweet recognition that life, despite
the alterations of time, must continue as best it can.

William Lehnerd, and Thom Bennett. The show was directed by
Gary Collar and produced by Sue Collar.
