Red, White and Tuna

The play, written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard, is at once an affectionate comment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes but also a withering satire of same. The Tuna plays are notable in that two actors play the entire cast of nearly twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages.

Cast

Tuna, Texas is full of unusual characters. You’ll want to see the hilarious results when just two actors are cast to portray all of them!

Our actors for this production will be Tim Barnes and Rod Rehe. Tim and Rod worked together in A Tuna Christmas in 2016. We are looking forward to seeing how they revive their characters!

Director: Randy Hare
Producer: Laura Barnes

Dashing Through the Snow

December, 2017

It’s four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, and a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister, Donna Jo, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts, Ennis and Della, with sidesplitting results. 

Ainsley and Lenora, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves, a demanding guest who refuses to leave, not to mention a tipsy housekeeper, and it’s clear it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina’s spirits merry and bright.

But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the fabulous Futrelle sisters—Honey Raye, Twink, Frankie and Rhonda Lynn—and their best friend, Raynerd, takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-’til-your-sides-ache climax, changing all their lives forever.

You’ll swear this family-friendly Jones/Hope/Wooten Christmas comedy is more fun than a joyride in a one-horse open sleigh!
