Greater Tuna Getting Better
Sunday afternoon matinee at Billings Studio Theatre allowed all of us elderly still continent and mostly ambulatory folks to have some fun with a classic small town satire—unlikely to be meant as affectionate originally—but now even the nasty slurs our friends from Texas assign to us small town folks these days are laughed off because we’ve become used to the bombardment from the partisans at MSNBC and Saturday Night Live.
Besides, we’ve seen Vint and Jeff do this before, in the 80s and the 90s, and probably in the noughties as well. Most of the audience thought they were getting better as they get older, though there still are a few inevitable timing problems because of all the costume changes required when Lavinder and Boschee play all the parts. They really do well, especially with the old lady parts. Excellent costumes and especially great hair pieces made things a little more believable.
This is still playing up to 23 January and tickets are still available. So get over there to have a laugh at yourself. It’s healthy.
