Red, White and Tuna

Russell Community Theater's summer production of Red, White and Tuna by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard will be presented July 9 through 13 at the RCT Playhouse at 5th and Kansas in Russell with curtain at 8 PM.

Tuna, Texas is where the action is this summer. The third installment of the Tuna series brings them to the 4th of July Tuna High School Reunion. It has been several years since they left Bertha (Brenda Odgers) and Arles (Dalton Mauro) dancing at the end of A Tuna Christmas. Did the romance blossom? Has Didi Snavley (Amber Sikes) received any cosmic communications from R.R.'s UFO? Did Stanley (Dalton Mauro) make his fortune in the Albuquerque taxidermy business? These and other burning questions will be asked and answered in the side-splitting spoof of life in rural America.

Cast members are doing double duty on characters with Dalton Mauro, John McKee, Becky Jones, Becky Anschutz and Amber Sikes playing multiple roles.

Red, White and Tuna is being directed by Deb Kreutzer and presented with special permission by Concord Theatricals.
