Laughs




I indulged in a couple of hours of laughter. At the suggestion of friends I went to "Tuna Does Vegas" at the Paramount Theatre http://www.austintheatre.org/site/PageNavigator/venues/paramount/history




( http://www.tunadoesvegasthetour.com/photo_slide.htm ) It is a show for people who are fans, love the characters created over the past 20 years plus and love to laugh.

I guess it might be the last play that comes out of Greater Tuna. Apparently Vera Carp's Smut Snatchers have run out of smut to snatch in Tuna. Other signs of closure were DiDi Snavely found a man in Vegas, Aunt Pearl rescued a peacock , Inita Goodwin and Helen Bedd and Bertha Bumiller is getting over being shy.
All in all it was a fond portrayal of the Tuna characters and Southern Baptists without the darkness of the dishonest judge or the KKK.

Aunt Pearl reminds me of my fifth grade teacher.
