Even if you’ve never been to Texas, the themes in “Greater Tuna,” a play set in the Lone Star State’s fictitious third-smallest town, will feel familiar.

“It’s a straightforward Southern comedy – a backwoods, homebred Southern comedy in its finest,” said JC Smith, executive director of Closed Door Entertainment, which is partnering with the Harrison Ruritan Club for the upcoming production.

Being shown Nov. 3 and 4 at the clubhouse, the show includes dinner catered by Elegant Moments Catering.

It also includes a belly full of laughs.

“Our first read-through, we got through it, but what is ordinarily an hour and 45 minutes took us more than two hours because we kept laughing,” Smith said.
