Looking
for great entertainment for your whole family this December? Shane Guilbeau
and Kyle Bourque will jazz up the holidays with a comedy that will be sure-fire
hilarity for families in Acadiana. "A Tuna Christmas", by Williams and Sears,
has become a holiday favorite for 30 years, and once you experience it, you
understand why.
It's
holiday time in tiny Tuna, Texas, and the town is all astir with local gossip,
national news be damned. The phantom has struck again, meddling with yard
decorations and causing the live sheep in a manger scene to disappear.
In
some ways, A Tuna Christmas is more like a vaudeville act or a revue than
a normal performance. Characters drift in and out of the show, and each scene is
its own new plot. There's never a real beginning or end so that from a distance
the play seems like a series of vignettes. There are moments, though, of utter
sincerity among the laughs that ground the show firmly in reality. There's a
beautiful scene in the second act where Petey Fisk, the local animal activist,
who is sitting with his iguana and a half-coyote, looks up to the stars and
delivers a beautiful telling of the story of Jesus in the manger. This story is
lightened with references to Vera Carp's angry sheep, and shows reflection and
introspection. It is a moment that encapsulates the humanity of the people
onstage. No matter how crazy A Tuna Christmas gets, it always does so
with a complete sincerity and devotion to its characters' lives. This play is
perfect for the whole family, especially if you have guests visiting from out of
town, it's great entertainment.
