Greater Tuna

American Repertory Theater of WNY, Inc. presents the 2009-10 American Classic Series production of the Americana comedy

"GREATER TUNA"

Featuring Chris Standart and Thomas LaChiusa

Directed by Tom Dooney

-----------------------------------------------------------

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 began as a simple party skit based on a political cartoon more than 20 years ago in Austin, Texas. Talented creators Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard were the imaginative authors that parlayed the sketch into a critically acclaimed production which has entertained audiences across the country ever since.

Enjoy this classic piece and Love the ART in You!
