Audition Notice

Greater Tuna

By Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard

Greater Tuna is a comedy about a small town named Tuna, Texas's third-smallest town. The wacky inhabitants of this town -- men, women, children and animals -- are all played by two skillful, transformative actors who must change parts at a rather breakneck speed and use inventive voicework. Two actors, 20 characters, and a barrel of laughs.
