This hilarious comedy is set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas — the third smallest town in the state — where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies! The eclectic band of citizens who make up this town are portrayed by only four performers, making this satire on life in rural American even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna – men, women, children and animals! It is not only an affectionate comment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes, but also a withering satire of same. Four Nights!!
