Greater Tuna
Pittsburgh City Paper: "Back when I first encountered Greater Tuna, a staple of small companies like South Park Theatre, it just seemed a whimsical view of small-town life -- sort of the Texas version of Lake Wobegon. But after more than six years of George W. Bush and the 'religious right' in power, Tuna's cheerful view of small-mindedness has taken on more menacing overtones. At the very least, it's an excoriation of 'heartland' values by Broadway-type liberal elites, right?"

If you are a wardrobe supervisor or dresser, and love a challenge, Greater Tuna is an amazing experience. I saw "Greater Tuna Christmas" before I was interested in theater and was awestruck by the quick changes that occur throughout the production. This summer I worked with someone who was the wardrobe supervisor for a tour and she said working that show was one of the most rewarding productions she had ever worked on. The choreography of the quick changes is one to admire and observe if you ever get the chance.
