A Tuna Christmas
by Penfold Theatre Company

Dec. 12 - Dec. 28
Thursdays-Sundays

Penfold Theatre Company presents A Tuna Christmas, by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard. In this comedic romp through Christmas Eve set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, all 22 characters will be portrayed by two actors, Will Mercer and Kirk Kelso.

It’s Christmas Eve in Tuna, population 201, and stakes are high as the annual Christmas Yard Display contest is haunted by the Christmas Phantom; the local theatre production of A Christmas Carol is threatened by an unpaid light bill; and employees of the Tastee Kreme are forced to work through the holidays. In this satirically un-woke Texas town, no one is having a merry Christmas.

For anyone whose holidays are fraught with problematic relatives (or just straight-up problems), for anyone who wants to laugh at all the ways the holidays can go wrong (especially in Texas), this show is for you.

Age Recommendation: Ages 13+ for adult language and themes

Run Time: Approximately two hours.

Information on A Tuna Christmas is available at penfoldtheatre.org/event/tuna-christmas/.
