Didi Snavley, Petey Fisk, Bertha Bunmiller, Inita Goodwin, Helen Bedd, Arles Struvie — these are just a few of the two dozen characters that master comic-actors Fred Harlow and Don Loper bring to life in the hysterically funny A Tuna Christmas, the Tony Award-nominated sequel to the legendary Greater Tuna.     Twenty-four hours before Christmas all hell breaks loose in Texas’ third-smallest town, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The mayhem that results is bound to be your best memory of the holiday season!     "A comic masterpiece" (KGO AM/ABC). "Delivers a stockingful of laughs" (Houston Chronicle). "Deliciously funny" (San Francisco Examiner). "Biting comedy laced with poignant moments that take one's breath away" (Denver Post). "I wouldn't want to spend Christmas anywhere but Tuna, Texas" (Washington Times).

A Tuna Christmas' is the funnest way to celebrate holidays Few things are quite so joyfully uninhibited as Christmas kitsch. And that's what A Tuna Christmas celebrates. A play about the tacky inhabitants of Tuna, Texas, its slyness and affection have made it a viable alternative to A Christmas Carol. . . .      This show is as broad as Texas itself. But most characters have too many idiosyncrasies to savor in one sitting — from clip-on mittens to hairdos that are Texas mutations of baroque architecture.      The play is populated by 22 Tuna-ites of differing ages and genders — from waitresses to juvenile delinquents — played by two actors . . . and a vast wardrobe. . . . When the actors run out of accents, the wigs serve to differentiate the characters. . . .      However goofy, they're more flesh and blood than caricature. The play ends, not without some predictable silliness, but with two of the frumpier Tuna-ites taking a vacation from their bad marriages and conservative church groups to rendezvous at an out-of-town steak house. Adultery has never been so cute. (From USA Today)
