The Trenton Acting Guild has announced the cast of its summer comedy, ?Greater Tuna,? which will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, June 24 and 25, in the Hoover Theater.
Newcomers to TAG will play the roles of a socialite and a weather ?girl.? Lisa Schilling will play Vera Carp, the tart-tongued leader of the censorship committee in Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas. Margaret Ireland will play a radio forecaster who has nothing but bad news for the small town.
Dual roles will be played by TAG veterans Susan Provance, Tom Powell, and Gary Peterson. Ms. Provance will play dog-hater Pearl Burris and Loretta Childers, the owner of Tuna?s radio station, 0KKK. Powell and Peterson will play the station?s inept announcers. In addition, Powell will portray the pulpit-pounding Rev. Spikes. Peterson will portray nerdy Phinas Blye, failed candidate for the Tuna town council.
One of Tuna?s families, the Bumiller, will be a focus of the play. Mother Bertha will be played by Ann Sampson. Her ?psycho twins? will be played by Tiffany LaSalle and John Sampson. Sabrina While will portray her youngest child, a dog lover.
A local Humane Society worker, who keeps sending dogs to the Bumillers, will be played by LeAnna Wilcox. Her mother, Linda Dannull, will portray a local gun shop owner, Didi Snavely. The shop?s motto is ?If Didi?s can?t kill it, it?s immortal.?
Dave and the Hickory Chicks, a local Trenton singing group, will present an old time gospel song as part of Radio OKKK?s art series.
The light technician for the production will be Andy Wilcox. Ann Sampson is the show?s costumer. Leta Wheeler will oversee props. Dr. Vicki Wheeler is directing.
Tickets for the two-act comedy will go on sale on Monday, June 6 at Total Entertainment. All seats are reserved and will be $5 each.
