SYNOPSIS

Like a Texas tumbleweed, the characters of Tuna, Texas just keep on rollin' along.  And now master comedians Joe Sears and Jaston Williams rocket into La Mirada for the Southern California premiere of their third installment of the Tuna, Texas trilogy Red, White and Tuna.  This time, it's Tuna High School Reunion over the Fourth of July, and the town's perennial favorites, along with some new Tuna denizens, burst into the celebration setting the stage for a show full of fun and fireworks.

REVIEWS

"The two-hour spoof is a nonstop laugh-a-thon full of sight-gags, jokes and clever one-liners delivered with impeccable comic timing. "

- Press Telegram

"Both Sears and Williams have dead-on-accurate Texas twangs, and each is able to imbue his characters with such individuality that they appear to be played by more than two actors (each man plays 10 characters). "

- Orange County Register
