On Dec. 3, 4, 10 and 11, the Starlight will host "A Tuna Christmas," a comedy sequel to "Greater Tuna," revolving around the people of the fictional Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas.
This snapshot of the tiny town finds its residents in a rush to put forward a disaster-prone production of "A Christmas Carol," as a yard decorating contest is being sabotaged by an elusive "Christmas Phantom" on Christmas Eve.
The play by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard features a slew of eccentric and downright odd characters, including Smut-Snatchers, waitresses, “UFOlogists” and taxidermists, among others.
All 24 characters in the performance will be played by veteran Lansing actor Michael Hays and Michigan State University student Jason Carlen: Expect frequent costume changes.
Dinner from Mary’s Homestyle Catering will be served before the show, and will consist of a traditional holiday meal, including roasted turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn and a choice of pies, among others. To fit the theme of the show, though, tuna casserole will also be served to interested patrons.
