Cape May Stage presents "A Tuna Christmas"

originally published: 11/15/2023


(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- Cape May Stage presents A Tuna Christmas from November 15 through December 30, 2023. Spend the holidays in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas! With twenty-two different characters, dozens of costume changes, and just two actors, this play is a fun-filled, satirical look inside the workings of a small town at Christmas.

Narrated by Arles and Thurston who keep you up on all the local news from their 275-watt radio station, it follows the Yuletide festivities of the delightfully eccentric cast of characters in the third smallest town in Texas.

The play was written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard. The production is directed by Roy Steinberg and stars Nathaniel Rothrock and Dane Agostinis, each playing 11 different characters.

Performances run Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online.  All performances of A Tuna Christmas take place at the Robert Shackleton Theater, located at 405 Lafayette Street in the heart of historic downtown Cape May, New Jersey.
