The denizens of Tuna, Texas will have you laughing until it hurts all while showing the charms of small town life in rural Texas.

Casa Mañana's production of Red, White and Tuna reunites two local favorites on the Casa stage. David Coffee, last seen at Casa Mañana inCamelot, will join Jonathan Beck Reed as all those crazy residents of Tuna, Texas.

Since then, he has appeared on stages across the country from Portland, Oregon to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Mr. Reed was most recently seen on the Casa stage in Greater Tuna last summer. He is an award-winning actor with over 35 years of experience working in theatre, film and television. He has starred in the national touring productions of 42nd Street, The Music Man, My Fair Lady, Peter Pan and Damn Yankees, to name a few. Mr. Reed is the co-owner of Dance Unlimited Performing Arts Center and Spotlight Acting Academy in Edmond, Oklahoma.

He is a professional actor, director and playwright who has directed and acted in more than 60 productions and written twelve plays, all produced professionally. His modern adaptation of The Revenger's Tragedy written for The American College Theatre Festival was one of four plays selected nationally to be performed at The Kennedy Center. Joe currently is the Executive Producer of Wishing Star Productions, a Dallas-based live theatrical Production Company.
