A TUNA CHRISTMAS Comes to The Circuit Playhouse, Now thru 12/29
By: BWW News Desk
A Tuna Christmas by Ed Howard, Joe Sears, and Jaston Williams will run tonight, November 15 - December 29, 2013 at The Circuit Playhouse.
The colorful residents of Tuna, Texas' third-smallest town, are competing in the annual Christmas lawn display contest when a mysterious Christmas Phantom wreaks havoc on the elaborate decorations. Meanwhile, Tuna's embattled theater director tries to get a troubled production of A Christmas Carol on its feet. Two actors play more than 20 characters, and multiple costume quick-changes help to put the riotous fun in holiday dysfunction in this audience-favorite. A Tuna Christmas is directed by Ann Marie Hall and features Resident Company Member Michael Gravois (Red, White, and Tuna; Tuna Does Vegas) alongside John Hemphill (A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline). A Tuna Christmas runs November 15 - December 29 at The Circuit Playhouse. The Pay What You Can performance is Thursday, November 21 at 8pm. The Circuit Playhouse is located at 51 S. Cooper Street.

Tickets: $22 Opening Weekend (Nov.15, 16, 17), $30 Thursdays and Sundays; $35 Fridays and Saturdays. $22 Seniors/Students/Military. $10 Children under 18.CAST LIST:
