Appearing in this production are Anthony Clark-Kaczmarek and Noah Diaz. These two actors portray a variety of roles as the town of Tuna, Texas, the third smallest town in Texas celebrates July 4 with the Tuna High School Class Reunion

The 'Tuna' productions began in Austin, Texas, in 1998 and have become popular across the US, as the portrayal of the small town takes the audience along on a satirical ride into the hearts and minds of the citizens of Tuna. In all the four Tuna productions two men portray over 20 characters of all ages and genders.

Along with the show's perennial favorites, authors Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard introduce us to new characters as we again join the residents of Tuna---this time for the holiday celebration. The stage is set for a show full of fireworks and fun in the land where the 'Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies'.

On the closing Sunday of 'Red, White, and Tuna' the BLT stage will welcome several familiar faces as well-known Omaha area actors make guest appearances and join the residents of Tuna in saying farewell, at least for this season. Those appearing in the final performance are Raydell Cordell, Monty Eich, Gordon Krentz, Ed Cutler, Nick Zadina, Jeremy Stoll, Mary Kelly, Cullen Chollett, and Karl Rohling.
