They’re Back! Two of Spokane ’s legendary frantic fast-change farces return, performed in repertory! Once again see Michael Weaver and William Marlowe play the entire population of Tuna, Texas . Home to radio station OKKK, Tuna, the Lone Star state’s third smallest town, is where Patsy Cline never dies. In the wacky Greater Tuna, everybody’s in an uproar because the Bumiller children are running amuck, a prominent judge has been murdered, a UFO has shown up and, worse of all, Aunt Pearl’s chickens are being attacked by the dog next door. Then things get even zanier in A Tuna Christmas. Who is the mysterious Christmas Phantom, and why is he destroying yard displays just as Vera Carp is about to secure her fifteenth annual win in the OKKK Christmas Yard Display Contest? ARt presents two of the laugh-out-loud funniest plays ever written – and you can see them the pair over two nights! Or become a Tuna Marathoner and laugh yourself silly all day on a Saturday!

How far would you go for love? What would you be willing to change? This story of love, sex and art follows the flowering relationship between Evelyn and Adam. As Evelyn’s romantic hold tightens, Adam’s emotional and physical evolution disturbs his friends with unexpected consequences. By turns hopeful and harsh, the quartet of college-age characters deals with the conflicting human desires for independence and attachment, truth and love, and the realization that seduction is an art.

This delightful new Off-Broadway comedy delves into the inner workings of 1939 Hollywood . Movie mogul David O. Selznick has shut down production on Gone with the Wind and locked himself in his office with screenwriter Ben Hecht and director Victor Fleming -- whom he dragged off The Wizard of Oz set -- to rewrite the script. The three of them frantically work for seven sleepless days re-tooling – and at times rewriting -- the celebrated novel. A hysterical and fascinating knock-down-drag-out detailing the creation of one of greatest movies of all time.
“A hyperventilating slapstick comedy.” -Chicago Sun Times.
“Frankly, my dear, this is one funny play…a rip-roaring farce.” -NY Daily News
