The evening will include Growing Pains by Kim Southey; and Tuna Fish Eulogy by Lindsay Price

Growing Pains – A coming-of-age comical drama, exploring the challenges of leaving behind a childhood you’re reluctant to let go of.

Tuna Fish Eulogy – Albert was no ordinary child. He liked nothing more than to sit and count his tins of tuna in his kitchen cupboard. One day, he was found dead and two tins were missing. Twelve years later, his grown-up ghost has returned to interview his mother and the babysitter to reconcile what happened. Did they do it, or was it suicide?

Welcoming Everyone Into Our Community

An Evening of One-Act Plays

Tuna Fish Eulogy has no specific diversity message within its narrative. Although American in origin, the play can be cast with complete neutrality on race/ethnicity. Parts of its story lend themselves to gender and age specificity in certain roles but this could be open to artistic judgement, permitting maximum flexibility to achieve the most diverse cast possible.
