COLUMBIA, KY- Area residents have a final opportunity to visit the third smallest town in Texas before the official end of summer. Lindsey Wilson College will present Red, White and Tuna at 7pmCT, Thursday, September 4, 2014, at V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY.



The comedy features more than 20 characters, all of whom are played by two male actors - LWC Assistant Professor of Theatre Robert Brock and LWC Director of Alumni Relations Randy Burns. The play was performed earlier this summer as part of TheatreFest! at Lindsey Wilson.

Hilarious play was well-received in 2014 summer Theatrefest

"This is a hilarious play, and it was very well-received this summer," Brock said. "We had some great crowds watch it, and everyone really enjoyed it."

Red, White and Tuna is the third installment in a series of comedic plays by Ed Howard, Joe Sears and Jaston Williams. Set in the self-proclaimed third-smallest town in the state of Tuna, Texas, Red, White and Tuna centers around the town's high school reunion during a Fourth of July celebration that includes visitors from an extraterrestrial, spoiled potato salad and a couple who has decided to give love one more chance.

"This is Southern comedy at its absolute best," Brock said. "If you like blue-collar comedy, you will love this."

Respectful of Southern culture while finding humor in everyday life

Brock said the Tuna plays are popular because they respect Southern culture while also finding humor in its everyday life.

"People like the Tuna stories so much because they do not make fun of the South or the people of the South, rather they appreciate them," he said. "But the plays also appreciate what's quirky about the South and Southerners -- what's funny and eccentric. We look at these plays and say, 'These are people in my family.' Some of them might be me actually."

Lindsey Wilson College will present Red, White and Tuna at 7pmCT Thursday, September 4, 2014, at V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY. Contact Brock at brockr@lindsey.edu or 270-590-4803. - DUANE BONIFER, Lindsey Wilson College, Director of Public Relations.
