Content advisory: This play is recommended for ages 13 and older for its satirical nature and minor language.

Greater Tuna is a comedy about a small town named Tuna. The wacky inhabitants of this town -- men, women, children and animals -- are all played by two skillful, transformative actors who must change parts at breakneck speed and use inventive voicework. The day in Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, begins—as usual—with Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie at the microphones of Radio OKKK. Topping the headlines is the winning entry in the American Heritage Essay Contest, entitled “Human Rights, Why Bother?” And so the day continues, as Tuna’s citizens parade across the stage in all their outrageous and irreverent glory, commenting on life, politics, and what makes them (and sometimes us) tick.

Directed by Michael Clardy and Mike Doherty.
