PAUL BUNYAN PLAYHOUSE Performances: Evening (Thurs-Sat) 7:30pm Wed & Sun Matinee - 2:00pm TICKET PRICES General Admission: $25, for the first 4 shows Student Ticket: $15, for the first 4 shows Final Musical: $27 All Tickets Box Office 218-751-7270 Order your tickets online: www.paulbunyanplayhouse.org 2023 Summer Season Greater TUNA Where the Lions Club is too liberal and Potty cline never dies By Ed Howard, Joe Sears, and Jaston Williams July 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 & July 16, 19 What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye, and Rev. Spikes have in common? In this hilarious send-up of small-town morals and mores, they are all among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas. Greater Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna- men, women, children and animals. Two actors, twenty characters, and a barrel of laughs, y'all. Greater Tuna (which began as a simple party skit based on a political cartoon more than 40 years ago in Austin, Texas) 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. Greater Tuna is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com THANK YOU TO: pepsi The Paul Bunyan Playhouse acknowledges NEI Bottling for their generosity in providing beverages for intermission. Enjoy the Show!
