Greater Tuna at Flower Mound Performing Arts Theatre

GREATER TUNA
by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard
Ryan Roach and Chris Robinson reprise their roles from FMPAT's 2009 award winning production.
September 23 - October 10

What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Rev. Spikes have in common? In this hilarious send-up of small town morals and mores, they are all among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas' third smallest town. The long-running Off Broadway hit features two actors creating the entire population of Tuna in a tour de farce of quick change artistry, changing costumes and characterizations faster than a jack rabbit runs from a coyote. Two actors, twenty characters and a barrel of laughs, y'all.

"Flower Mound Performing Arts Theatre's production of Greater Tuna, starring and restaged by Chris Robinson and Ryan Roach, is easily the most side-splitting two hours spent in a theater in a very, very, very long time. Squared. If Sears and Williams are looking for a team to carry on their legacy-because c'mon, they can't keep it up forever-then their search is over. Roach and Robinson have to be the tastiest Tuna helpers." - Mark Lowry, TheaterJones.com

". . . a production whose actors really understand the finer points of Greater Tuna and how to play them. Watching Roach and Robinson pause in character while the audience was convulsed in laughter made me realize how great this piece of American theater is, even when Sears and Williams aren't in it. It IS, it is, it is." - Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer

"FMPAT scores a genuine winner. Actors Robinson and Roach bring a depth, skill level and obvious joy to their performances that attest to their distinctive professionalism and dedication to performance art." - Alexandra Bonifield: Critical Rant & Rave.
