DEEP IN THE HEART OF TUNA

Written by: Ed Howard, Joe Sears, Jaston Williams

DIRECTOR : JAMIE BOWER

RATED PG, RUNTIME: 90 MINUTES

Deep in the Heart of Tuna is a “Best Of” Tuna show that follows the story of Bertha Bumiller and her beautifully dysfunctional family. Tuna, Texas is the third-smallest town in the state, 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 powerful as they depict all the inhabitants of Tuna – men, women, children, and animals.   

Beth Domann and Mark Gideon return to Tuna, Texas in this Tuna “greatest hits” show. Last seen on the Landers stage during the 2014-15 season in Tuna Does Vegas, this hilariously dynamic duo is back to bring us Deep in the Heart of Tuna.

  • Concessions may be purchased from the bar OR from ushers at your seat. Your drinks would then be delivered to you instead of waiting in line.  
  • Hand sanitizer will be placed around the theatre for your use. Thorough cleaning before, during and after the performances will be done by theatre staff and volunteers.
