Press notes state that, "Greater Tuna is neither a recipe nor a fish story. It is the fictional panorama of the third smallest town in Texas and every twitch and twang is right on target. All of Tuna's inhabitants - male and female, young and old, crazed and half-crazed - are played by a remarkable pair of actors and quick-change artists named David Eller and Michael Genevie on the historic stage of the Abbeville Opera House."

There can be no doubt of one thing about Greater Tuna. It is deep in the heart of Texas and it's one of the most popular plays ever seen on the Opera House stage. For that reason, Summer Season 2009 will end 30th Summer Theatre Season in Abbeville with a four weekend run of the hilarious comedy by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard.

Eller has been a regular on the Opera House stage for a number of years and has been seen in a variety of roles.

Genevie is the Executive Director of the Abbeville Opera House has been at the helm of the Opera House Summer Season for the past thiry years. As an actor, some of his many credits include: In the Heat of the Night, Matlock, Stay the Night, Mr. Destiny, That Darn Cat, My Cousin Vinny, Manhunt in the Dakotas, A Kiss So Deadly and Savannah to name only a few.
