IVC to Debut A Tuna Christmas, November 3-9,

in Brand New College Performing Arts Center

IRVINE, CA – Irvine Valley College (IVC) will present an extremely funny comedy with music, song

and dance: A Tuna Christmas, November 3-9. This production will be the first presented in IVC’s

Studio Theatre in the new Performing Arts Center. A Tuna Christmas, is the hilarious sequel to the hit

comedy, Greater Tuna. It promises to offer audiences a host of eccentric characters. Set in Tuna,

Texas, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies, the cast attempts to cope with

a variety of seasonal traumas including a disaster prone little theatre production of A Christmas Carol

and a yard decorating contest that is being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom. Bring the

whole family and join in the holiday fun! For Tickets call: (949) 451-5333. Tickets are $10/$11.

November 3, 2007 at 2 p.m. and November 4, 7, 8, 9, 2007 at 8 p.m.
