TOM FREY and KRAIG SWARTZ in A TUNA CHRISTMAS.
A TUNA CHRISTMAS
A Comedy by ED HOWARD, JOE SEARS, and JASTON WILLIAMS
Directed by GUS KAIKKONEN
Featuring TOM FREY and KRAIG SWARTZ

​On stage December 5-15th.

In this boisterous and hilarious romp, Players’ favorites and masters of comedy Tom Frey and Kraig Swartz portray over 20 different characters – everyone in this tiny, tight-knit, irreverent town of Tuna, Texas. As usual, the annual tree decorating contest is underway, and who knows if Vera Carp will once again take the prize. Joe Bob is trying to salvage the local theatre production of A Christmas Carol from both the town censors and the wrath of the electric company. Didi is arming the good people in town with protection against the Christmas Phantom, who’s wreaking holiday havoc and may or (may not!) be Bertha’s fresh-from-probation son, Stanley. And everyone just wants a burger from the Tastee Kreme. Welcome to Christmas in the Greater Tuna area – a great way to add a laugh to your holidays.

A Tuna Christmas features Tom Frey (2 Pianos, 4 Hands) and Kraig Swartz (Fully Committed). 

Critics say...

"There’s something for everyone to relate to, laugh at and maybe tear up a little during this heartwarming, chaotic Christmas comedy." - Meghan Pierce, MONADNOCK LEDGER-TRANSCRIPT (Read the full review HERE)
