Day 210 Greater Tuna Comedy Play in Chatham MA

The Chatham Drama Guild at  will be performing the comedy play  Greater Tuna  by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard for 3 weekends on Cape Cod including Memorial Day weekend.   The  off broadway  plays are at once an affectionate comment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes but also a withering satire of same.

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. The show began as a simple party skit based on a political cartoon more than 25 years ago in Austin, Texas. Talented creators Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard were the imaginative authors that parlayed the sketch into a critically acclaimed production which has entertained audiences across the country ever since.

The show will run three weekends from May 17-June 2 on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for students w/ID and $18 for adults and may be reserved by calling the CDG Box Office at 508-945-0510.  The theatre offers a cash bar and is both air conditioned and handicapped accessible.
