A TUNA CHRISTMAS By Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard The Circuit Playhouse – November 21 – December 21, 2025 Set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the annual Christmas Yard Display Contest is about to commence. Vera Carp is gearing up to win for the 15th consecutive year until a mysterious “Christmas Phantom” has their sights on disrupting the contest by vandalizing displays. Joe Bob has the desire to produce A Christmas Carol but battles the threats of the power being cut from the electric company. Along with other story arcs being narrated from a 275-watt station, this show is notable for only having 2 actors portraying more than 20 characters of different genders and ages offering a satirical look at small-town life.
