This weekend, travel to the zany town of Tuna, Texas, for an unforgettable Christmas play about the antics surrounding the citizens of small-town Texas. The play, which originally premiered as part of a three-part series by Joe Sears and Jaston Williams in 1989, offers both affectionate commentary and sizzling satire on small-town Southern life and attitudes. Set in the third smallest town in Texas, A Tuna Christmas follows more than 20 eccentric characters through the holiday season. In keeping with the tradition of the original performance, the entire cast, which is comprised of more than 20 unique characters, will be performed by two male actors, Rich McCoy and Darin Harms, who have performed A Tuna Christmas since 2008. Tickets for A Tuna Christmas cost $18 for adults and $16 for students and seniors. For tickets and more information about A Tuna Christmas, visit http://hcfta.org.
