A Taste of Tuna

I took some pictures during our tech run last night. I'm hesitant to publish them all, because we have so many new characters and so many funny costume gags that I don't want to give away until people have a chance to see them in the show.

But for now, I leave you with two of my favorite characters, R.R. Snavely (on the right, played by Ben Lloyd) and Petey Fisk (on the left, played by John Zak), returning from last year's production of A Greater Tuna:



Things get interesting for these two in this play... without giving anything away, let's just say that Petey is struggling with a new influx of animals at the Greater Tuna Humane Society, and R.R.'s aliens won't leave him alone.

Of course these two characters are only a taste of the many, many citizens of Tuna that Ben and John portray-- and let me just say, those boys look good in drag. You haven't lived until you've seen Ben as Bertha Bumiller, a frazzled mother hen and John as Vera Carp, the town snotty know-it-all and now head of the Greater Tuna Smut Snatchers. And many, many others, including new (and hysterical!!) characters that will have you laughing until you pee.

I hope everyone who can comes to see this-- we run this Tuesday through January 4th. It's hilarious and sweet-- just the right thing for this time of year.
