Greater Tuna

The long-running off-Broadway hit brings the quirky town of Tuna, Texas to life as two actors portray the entire population in a tour-de-force of quick-change artistry, switching costumes and characters faster than a jackrabbit outruns a coyote.

With two actors, 20 characters, and a barrel of laughs, this high-energy comedy is Texas-sized fun for everyone.

In partnership with the Wright Opera House and presented by Minerva West Theater Company. Starring Rick Isenberg and Nick Coman. Directed by Stephen Laster and Evan Hart.

Greater Tuna was originally produced in 1981 in Austin, Texas by its authors, Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard. The play’s stars, Williams and Sears, played all twenty characters, and Howard directed.

One year after its premiere, Greater Tuna opened off-Broadway, ran for over a year, and went on to tour major theaters all over America and spots overseas for the next thirty-some years, becoming one of the most produced plays in American theatre history.
