Third Smallest Town in Texas (fictitious Tuna, Texas slogan)

The fictitious town of Tuna, Texas is the “Third Smallest Town in Texas.”  Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard wrote a comic trilogy to Tuna, Texas: Greater Tuna (1981), A Tuna Christmas (1989), and Red, White and Tuna (1998). According to the website: “Master comedians Sears and Williams, along with some split-second costume changes, portray all 24 citizens of Texas’ third smallest town, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies.”

The Third Smallest Town in Texas
 
Wikipedia: Greater Tuna
Greater Tuna is the first in a trilogy of comedic plays (followed by A Tuna Christmas and Red, White and Tuna), each set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the “third-smallest” town in the state. The trilogy was written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard. The plays are at once an affectionate comment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes but also a withering satire of same. Of the three plays, Greater Tuna is the darkest in tone.
 
The plays are notable in that two men play the entire cast of over twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages. Greater Tuna debuted in Austin in Fall 1981, and had its off-Broadway premiere in 1982.
