Roxy Regional Theatre presents “Greater Tuna” Oct. 14-22

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) — The Roxy Regional Theatre will be debuting a sequel to one of their holiday comedies this month in theotherspace.

Two actors- Ryan Bowie and Brian Best- play  20 characters, the entire population of Tuna, Texas, in the comedy, “GREATER TUNA”, playing October 14 through October 22 in theotherspace, the 50-seat black-box theatre located upstairs at the Roxy Regional Theatre.

Following on the heels of last season’s hit holiday comedy A Tuna Christmas, Bowie and Best return to the third smallest town in Texas for the story of the hilarious send-up of small-town morals and more.

The first in a series of comedic plays by Ed Howard, Joe Sears and Jaston Williams, GREATER TUNA,  is at once an affectionate comment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes in a satirical voice.

GREATER TUNA is made possible in part by Monica Drake & Mitchell Ketchens and Jill Eichhorn & Barry Kitterman and is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company.

GREATER TUNA is presented in theotherspace, the 50-seat black-box theatre located upstairs at the Roxy, and plays at 7 p.m. on October 14, 15, 21 and 22.  Please note: Due to language and content, this production is suggested for mature audiences only.

Bowie, executive director of the Roxy Regional Theatre, has previously shown his versatility by playing multiple and diverse range of roles in a number of plays. Best had his comedic Roxy Regional Theatre debut as housewife Edna Turnblad in Hairspray.
