News Tuna Christmas, With Creators Sears and Williams, Returns to DC Thanksgiving Week A Tuna Christmas, the yule-flavored sequel to the hit comedy Greater Tuna, returns to Washington, DC, for a limited one-week engagement Nov. 20-25 at the Warner Theatre.

Writer-actors Joe Sears and Jaston Williams play "your favorite citizens of Tuna, TX, where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies."

A regional hit that also played a limited Broadway engagement, A Tuna Christmas takes place "24 hours before Christmas and all comic hell is about to break loose as the delightfully eccentric characters attempt to cope with seasonal traumas, including a disaster-prone Little Theatre production of A Christmas Carol and a yard-decorating contest that is being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom."

Tony Award-nominated Sears and Williams have been touring extensively with the Tuna trilogy for 25 years. Their over 30-year stage partnership "has outlasted the comic duos of Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello and Martin and Lewis," according to production notes.

Duggan. Performances are Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 PM, Friday and Saturday at 2 PM and 8 PM and Sunday at 1 PM and 6:30 PM (no performance on Thanksgiving Day). Tickets range from $25 to $48.
