A Tuna Christmas / Comedy July 1-4, 8-11
Seasons Greeting from A Tuna Christmas, the hilarious sequel to the hit comedy, Greater Tuna. Come spend the holidays with all your old favorite citizens of Tuna, Texas and make some new friends while you're there. Master comedians Sears and Williams, along with some split-second costume changes, portray all 24 citizens of Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. This time, it's 24 hours before Christmas and all comic hell is about to break loose as the delightfully eccentric characters attempt to cope with seasonal traumas such as a disaster prone little theatre production of A Christmas Carol, and a yard decorating contest that is being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom! Bring the whole family and join in the holiday fun! Thursday through Saturday's at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:00pm. Located at the Blue Ridge Community Theater, 2591 East 1st Street across from The Swan Drive-In Call 706-632-9223 or visit http://www.blueridgecommunitytheater.com/
