Greater Tuna

November 1-4, 2007
7:30p.m. Thurs.-Sat. 2p.m. Sunday
Chipola Theatre

By Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard

What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Rev. Spikes have in common? They are among the upstanding citizens of Tuna — Texas’ third smallest town — in this hilarious send-up of small-town mores. In this Off-Broadway hit actors create the entire population of Tuna in a tour de farce of quick-change artistry, both of costumes and of comic characterizations.

Auditions: September 10 and 11 at 6:00pm .
 


How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Trying

March 12-16, 2008
7:30p.m. Wed.-Sat. 2p.m. Sunday
Chipola Theatre

Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock
and Willie Gilbert
Based on the novel by Shepherd Mead

From the authors of “Guys and Dolls” comes one of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, this Pulitzer Prize winning play follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant “company man”, the boss’ whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.

Auditions: Jan 14 and 15 at 6:00pm
