The holiday comedy as big as Texas!


A TUNA CHRISTMAS

by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams, and Ed Howard


GET SEATS


Everything's bigger in Texas, including the folks and family we all know and love! It’s Christmas Eve in the Lone Star state and radio station personalities Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie report on the Yuletide activities that have gripped their little whistle-stop of Tuna – population, 24 - where the Lion's Club is too liberal, and Patsy Cline never dies. What’s to be done about Joe Bob Lipsey’s disastrous Christmas Carol pageant, a sabotaged yard-decorating contest, and a mysterious phantom on the loose and spreading havoc? With quick-change zaniness and quicksilver one-liners, CTC all-star actors Scot Friedman and Rick Smith return as twenty-two of the wildest citizens of one zany town bringing all the “joy to the world” that make the holidays so special. Oh, holy night!


Starring Scot Friedman and Rick Smith. ​

Directed by Andy Berkovsky

with original staging by Robyn Conner.



December 5 - 21, 2025
