Greater Tuna-2015
Directed by Marlyn Koons
Greater Tuna is set in the town of Tuna, Texas, the “third-smallest” town in the state, populated with many eccentric characters that come to life in this comedic show. The two-man production stars WCT veterans Gavin Drew and Preston T. Wright. Together they play a total of twenty different characters, male and female. Hilarity mounts as they quickly switch characters, costumes, and voices throughout the show.
