You’ll have to take the afternoon off, and you should, to see the splendid new production of Greater Tuna ….. So if you have never seen the play or never seen it done by professional actors who do it as well as Sears and Williams, you need to see One Thirty’s Larry Randolph and Dwight Sandell. The Quick costume changes, done to perfection at the Bath House are a big part of the fun.
Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer
But I can firmly state, for now-and who knows if this will change with some future viewing-Larry Randolph and Dwight Sandell make the perfect successors to the Tuna tales, as proven in the current One Thirty Productions staging at the Bath House Cultural Center, directed by Gene Raye Price. …it’s performances like these that will preserve these characters for generations to come.

The current play, Southern Comforts, is a stronger play than most in the genre , and especially well performed. That consummate theater artist, B.J. Cleveland directed Southern Comforts. Under his guidance, both performers are at their most relaxed and natural.

Kathleen Clark’s poignant and incisive romantic comedy,…..is currently treated to a first-rate staging by One Thirty Productions….The players, Gene Raye Price and John S. Davies, are audience favorites throughout the region. So is the director B.J. Cleveland. The team does not disappoint.
