Summary: (Adult Humor) It's Yuletide season in itty bitty Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies! Between the holiday yard display contest and the Little Theatre's A Christmas Carol on the brink of cancellation, it's a miracle anyone gets tinsel on a tree. Three actors play all 25 colorful citizens of Tuna, including OKKK Radio hosts Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie who report on the small-town festivities. This satirical ode to the season is spiked with enough sass and shenanigans to make for one Texas-sized jolly holiday.

Age Recommendation: Twelve and up for adult humor.

Run Time: Approximately two hours including one intermission.

Summary: (Family Friendly) Welcome to a whole NEW adaptation of Holiday Heroes. It's the holiday season and the characters named RED and GREEN work in a factory sharply divided between a red side and a green side. One day, instead of a package, RED and GREEN receive a visitor - BLUE. BLUE doesn't fit into either side, and GREEN can't seem to get rid of her. Through music, mime and mischief, BLUE helps RED and GREEN learn the value of giving, empathy, and to see the world from the other point of view.
