March 24 - 25….Celebrity Attractions presents "Greater Tuna" - Welcome to the slightly skewed world of Greater Tuna, Texas' third smallest town... where the Lions club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The plot of this play centers on the death of Judge Roscoe Buckner, of an apparent stroke, while wearing a 1950 turquoise Dale Evans one-piece swimsuit with "lots of cowgal fringe." Among the subplots are Stanley Bumiller's attempts to walk the straight and narrow after a stint in reform school, Bertha Bumiller's trying to hold her family together, and the Smut Snatchers of the New Order's attempts to censor books (including the dictionary) at the local library.
