''Red, White and Tuna'' is the third in a series of comedic plays (preceded by ''Greater Tuna'' and ''A Tuna Christmas'' and followed by ''Tuna Does Vegas''), each set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the "third-smallest" town in the state. The plays were 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. The plays are notable in that two men play the entire cast of over twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages. The first play, ''Greater Tuna'', debuted in 1981 in Austin; ''Red, White and Tuna'' debuted in 1998. Williams and Sears regularly tour the country to perform all four plays, with Howard directing. Of the four plays, ''Red, White and Tuna'' is notable in that Sears' and Williams' final costume change (normally done off-stage) is done in full view of the audience. ''Red, White and Tuna'' is not currently available on VHS or DVD. ==Cast of characters== (In order of respective appearance) Performed by Williams: *Amber Windchime - Flower child, former Tuna resident *Arles Struvie - A disc jockey at radio station OKOK, now in a relationship with Bertha Bumiller *Petey Fisk - Employee of the Greater Tuna Humane Society *Charlene Bumiller - Daughter of Bertha Bumiller and brother to Stanley; now a military bride *Stanley Bumiller - Taxidermist, now residing in Albuquerque *Vera Carp - Town snob and leader of the Prayer Posse *Didi Snavely - Owner of Didi's Used Weapons ("If we can't kill it, it's immortal") *Helen Bedd - co-owner of "Helen & Inita's Hot-to-Trot Catering" *Garland Poteet - Soda dispenser and one of Helen's many boyfriends Performed by Sears: *Star Birdfeather - Flower child, former Tuna resident *Thurston Wheelis - A disc jockey at radio station OKKK *Elmer Watkins - spokesperson for Free White Texas *Bertha Bumiller - Housewife and mother to Jody, Stanley, and Charlene, now in a relationship with Arles Struvie *Pearl Burras - Aunt to Bertha, whose potato-salad recipe is prize-winning *Joe Bob Lipsey - the "not-the-marrying-kind" director of the Tuna Little Theater *R.R.
