Photo Flash: Greater Tuna Opens at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei
ProArts, Inc. is proud to present "Greater Tuna" the world-wide comedy hit as the final production of their Spring season. This hysterical two-man comedic tour de force will be presented for ten performances at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei.
Playwrights Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard welcome you to Tuna, Texas-where the population is small, but the personalities are big! Join Thurston and Arles on OKKK Radio as they bring you the daily happenings, complete with UFOs, Smut Snatchers, and Puppy Pushers, and where laughter fills every thirty-second sound bite. The cast of quirky characters (portrayed by only two actors!) navigates hilariously through the small town life of Tuna, the third smallest town in the Lone Star state of Texas.From the creative team that brought you "The Fantasticks" and "Driving Miss Daisy", "Greater Tuna" is brought to life in Kihei by Maui's top talent, each playing ten roles apiece: Tom Althouse recently seen in "The Fantasticks" and "The Worthmores"; and Jonathan Lehman, most recently seen in "The Fantasticks" and "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"."Greater Tuna" is directed by Doug Kendrick with assistant direction by Kristi Scott. The Lone Star scenery is designed by Caro Walker with quick change costumes by Marsha Kelly and lighting by local expert Bonnie Prucha. ProArts productions are co-produced by Doug Kendrick and Jonathan Lehman.
Opening night is May 27 and the show runs until June 12, 2011 ; Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 3:00 pm. There will be no performances on May 29. ProArts offers reserved seats for adults at $20.00 and for students 18 & under at $15.00. Kama'aina nights are scheduled for Saturday, May 28, and two Thursdays, June 2 and 9. Hawaiian residents get a discount for those performances.
