Greater Tuna
By Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard
Directed by Chuck Harper
Metcalf Theater
June 11 – 13 at 7:30 PM, June 14 at 2:00 PM
June 19 – 20 at 7:30 PM, June 21 at 2:00 PM
Set in the small Texas town of Tuna, Greater Tuna is a hilarious comedy about Texas’ third smallest town. The show is a brilliant satire on life with the entire citizenship of Tuna portrayed by only two performers! Men and women of all ages, children, and even the local animals, aren’t exempt from the satirical renditions of the two actors. Few shows have sustained the high degree of popular longevity as this play! Rural America has never been so delightfully funny.

Known as the first Broadway theater musical to use rock‘n’ roll, this rollicking parody of late 50s, early 60s, rock’n’roll stars, and their wild fans, follows the antics of Conrad Birdie, a send-up of Elvis, who gives his farewell performance in the small town of Sweet Apple before heading off to join the Army. Will his visit inspire madness among the youthful throngs? Can Sweet Apple every be the same once Birdie is gone? All this and more is answered in this family friendly good time.

Charlie Bucket and four other Golden Ticket winners are in for a treat! They are about to take a fantastical tour through the most amazing chocolate factory. Their tour guide is none other than Willy Wonka who is accompanied by the mysterious band of beings called the Oompa Loompas. Together, they provide Charlie and the other children with some memorable exploits inside the factory. It’s an adventure that we, the audience, will not soon forget! It’s filled with memorable songs and a lesson on decency, modesty and honesty that the entire family can enjoy.
