'Tuna Does Vegas' Kicks Off National Tour

Tuna Does Vegas, the new installment from the "Greater Tuna" creative team, hits the road with a 21-city National tour starting March 25 at the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, Texas.  Starring the duo Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, Tuna Does Vegas re-unites the lovable and eccentric characters from the 'third smallest town in Texas' as they take a rambling romp in Sin City. "The hilarity begins when oddball-conservative radio host Arles Struvie announces on air that he and his wife Bertha Bumiller are heading to Vegas to renew their wedding vows…but everyone in Tuna, Texas goes along for the ride," press notes state. Written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, Tuna Does Vegas will feature characters from the award-winning "Greater Tuna" productions with some new characters too all staged under the directorial hand of Mr. Howard.

Tuna Does Vegas will feature scenery designed by Christopher McCollum, costumes designed by Linda Fisher, lighting designed by David Nancarrow and sound designed by Ken Huncovsky.
