More than 20 wild characters will fling back the curtains from their homes and let theater-goers see the hilarity of living in a small town. The play “Greater Tuna” centers on the citizens of Tuna, Texas, the third smallest town in the United States. The play shows the details of Southern life and attitudes along with some withering satire.
