Eugene gets a taste
of Texas with ‘Tuna’
Four actors portray a
town full of characters
in "A Tuna Christmas”
By Thomas C. Sloop
lor The Emerald
Students seeking refuge from
academic or holiday stress can
venture to the Actors Cabaret of
Eugene for a momentary segue
into live theater.
The troupe presents its debut of
“A Tuna Christmas” on Saturday.
The holiday comedy, directed by
Joe Zingo and produced by Jim
Roberts, is set in the mythical
town of Tuna, Texas, as four men
play the entire population of the
town during the Christmas season.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun,”
Roberts said. “The play pokes fun
at just about everything.”
"ATuna Christmas” invites stu
dents and families to stop, relax
and laugh together during the hol
iday season. The play’s themes are
subtle in the least and are often at
times very adult-oriented.
“This will be the show that peo
ple will enjoy the most out of any of
the shows in town,” Roberts said.
The production features the act
ing talents of Barry Shaw, Don
Kelley, Merlin Whitehawk and
Tyler Miller. Each actor will di
vide his time with the others to act
out the roles of more than 20 char
acters. The characterization in the
play is diverse, and assuming the
roles of at least four different char
acters a piece is a difficult task.
But the actors’ primary concern
is not the acting itself, but rather
their ability to remain collectively
focused on stage and resist any
temptation to burst out in laughter.
“It’s hysterical,” Miller said.
“The quality of the script is spec
tacular. It’s written as such that if
you just spoke the lines it’s funny. ”
Whitehawk described the pro
duction as “a wacky comedy,"
written by Jaston Williams, joe
Sears and Ed Howard.
“Students or anyone else will be
very impressed with the quality of
the script and the quality of the
acting,” Whitehawk added.
The play is only two acts but has
been arranged to run more than
two hours of live comedic theater.
The stage dominates the main
floor, but almost one hundred pa
trons can fill the venue to capacity.
Theatergoers can also enjoy dinner
and drinks with friends or family.
“There is something in it for
everyone, for people of all ages,”
Miller said. “It’s just pure fun. ”
The cabaret houses an eclectic
atmosphere. Roberts said more
than 100 people are involved from
many different backgrounds for
each production, especially in re
leasing “A Tuna Christmas.”
“The play will really be won
derful,” Roberts said. “This partic
ular production is a new one, so
we can offer the actors and people
in the community something that
they have never seen before.”
“A Tuna Christmas” shows
how far the Actors Cabaret of Eu
gene has progressed since the
venue opened 20 years ago. “A
Tuna Christmas” will be the cap
stone of the 1998 theatrical season
in conjunction with the anticipat
ed “The Rocky Horror Show” on
New Year’s Eve.
“I can’t imagine another show
that you’ll laugh harder at,” Miller
said. “You’ll never laugh your ass
off more.”
The play opens Saturday and
plays Dec. 10- 12, 17-19 at 8 p.m.
and Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets are
available at the Actors Cabaret of
Eugene by calling 683-4368 be
tween 11a.m and3p.m..Tuesday
through Saturday.
