Pocket Sandwich Theatre serves up a ‘Tuna’ melt
From the creative wackiness of Joe Sears and Jaston Williams came the play that started it all: Greater Tuna, a hilarious play about the third smallest town in Texas. Two performers portray the citizens of Tuna in this satire on rural life — more than over 20 characters including men, women, children and even animals. It’s all twangy good fun.
