“Greater Tuna” Press Release<\/strong><\/p>\n

TOKYO INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS SECOND STAGE
\nPRESENTS “GREATER TUNA”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Written by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard
\nDirected by Andrew Martinez
\nStarring Bob Werley and Charlie Lent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greater Tuna premiered in 1982 and quickly became one of the most widely-produced plays in the United States. An uproarious satire on rural American mores, the play is set in Texas’ third-smallest town — where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The wacky backwater characters, who number twenty in total, are portrayed on the stage by just two actors, making this quick-change comedy even more fascinating and funny. Greater Tuna has to be seen to be believed!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Last year, TIP Second Stage produced Greater Tuna in its intimate, black box space to tremendous audience response. This encore production features Bob Werley reprising his roles, joined by TIP veteran Charlie Lent. Andrew Martinez is returning as director. You don’t want to miss it the second time around!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Andrew Martinez (Director): “Greater Tuna is such a hilarious show I felt Tokyoites deserved another chance to see it. This time around I cast the show as it was originally performed, with two males playing 10 roles each. It adds another dimension with a more diversified chemistry. Hope y’all can come on down and see the show!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

September 3, 4, 5 & 10, 11, 12 at Our Space Theater:<\/strong><\/p>\n

All shows 7 pm Reserved tickets cost 2,000 yen, tickets at the door are 2,500 yen. Admission includes one free drink.<\/strong><\/p>\n
