Directed by B. Michael Quale Assisted by Bobbie Mendro.
Entertainment, Inc.! presents the first ever Downstage Proction. Twenty-five characters appear in Tuna, Texas- "The 3rd Smallest Town". They are some of the finest, upstanding citizens. The play is affectionate comment on small-town, Southern life and attitudes but also a withering satire of same. The audience will explode with laughter from this clever, inventive, fun and downright wild comedy.
