South stage preview: 'Tuna Christmas' a feast for two actors
Post Gazette: "Little Lake Theatre rings out its season with a show that, for many, already holds holiday memories. 'A Tuna Christmas,' which opens Nov. 29, is the 1989 spin-off of the perennially popular comedy 'Greater Tuna.'"
For anyone who is interested in wardrobe—this show is an absolute must-see. Especially if you can arrange to see backstage and look at some of the pieces. When the show toured through Washington DC a few years ago I got to look at the construction of some of the pieces to see how they were rigged for quick changes. What was really interesting was the key use of accessories to conceal snaps and Velcro for easy on/easy off costume pieces. The instantaneous nature of the changes is amazing—and hilarious. Highly recommended show, though I can’t speak to this particular production.
