CityRep Presents GREATER TUNA, Opening 6/1
By: Kelsey Denette May. 23, 2013
Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre closes their Eleventh Season with GREATER TUNA, the laugh-out-loud comedy by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard. Two actors play the citizenry of over 20 characters-men, women, and dogs-of fictional Tuna, Texas in this wacky satire of small-town life. This production is rated PG for Adult Language.
Starring in the CityRep production are award-winning actors Jonathan Beck Reed and Donald Jordan, who brought you the sold-out productions of A TUNA CHRISTMAS several seasons ago. The boys are pulling on the pantyhose again to bring you this new production.
GREATER TUNA is Directed by Steve Emerson; Set Design is by Theresa Furphy, Ben Hall and Donald Jordan; Costume Design is by Jeffrey Meek and Andy Wallach; Lighting Design is by Kathrine Mitchell; Sound Design is by Steve Emerson; and Properties Design and Hair and Makeup Design is by Suzette Collins Sroufe. Steve Emerson is the Production Stage Manager.
