This show to be performed in the Theatre in the Round THE STORY: In a plantation house, a
family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they
sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities,
because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past
and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as
the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie,
Big Daddy’s daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she’s
finally become pregnant by Big Daddy’s favorite son, Brick, but Brick
won’t cooperate in Maggie’s plans and prefers to stay in a mild
alcoholic haze the entire length of his visit. Maggie has her own
interests at heart in wanting to become pregnant, of course, but she
also wants to make amends to Brick for an error in judgment that
nearly cost her her marriage. Swarming around Maggie and Brick are
their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in
her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. By
evening’s end, Maggie’s ingenuity, fortitude and passion will set
things right, and Brick’s love for his father, never before expressed,
will retrieve him from his path of destruction and return him,
helplessly, to Maggie’s loving arms. |

THE STORY:
A young bride who lives above a bank with her
husband who is the assistant manager, innocently sends a mail order off
for some Scandinavian glassware. What comes is Scandinavian pornography.
The plot revolves around what is to be done with the veritable floods of
pornography, photographs, books, films and eventually girls that threaten
to engulf this happy couple. The matter is considerably complicated by the
man's mother, his boss, a visiting bank inspector, a police superintendent
and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his reluctant efforts to
set everything right, all of which works up to a hilarious ending of
closed or slamming doors. This farce ran in London over eight years and
also delighted Broadway audiences. |

This show to be performed in the Theatre in the Round THE STORY:
The framework of this spine tingler is
unusual: a lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting to family and
friends a story that has long troubled him concerning events that
transpired when he attended the funeral of an elderly recluse. There he
caught sight of the woman in black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the
locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her
illegitimate child was accidentally killed. Anyone who sees her dies! The
lawyer has invited some friends to watch as he and the actor recreate the
events of that dark and stormy night. A classic of the genre. |

THE STORY:
In this hilarious sequel to Greater Tuna,
it's Christmas in the third smallest town in Texas. Radio station OKKK
news personalities Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie report on various
Yuletide activities, including hot competition in the annual lawn display
contest. In other news, voracious Joe Bob Lipsey's production of "A
Christmas Carol" is jeopardized by unpaid electric bills. Many colorful
Tuna denizens, some you will recognize from Greater Tuna and some
appearing here for the first time, join in the holiday fun. A Tuna
Christmas is a total delight for all seasons, whether performed by
two quick changing comedians as on Broadway or by twenty or more.
Production requirements are minimal, making the play suitable for school
and community producers as well as large venues. Audiences who have and
who have not seen Greater Tuna will enjoy this laugh filled
evening. |
