1. FCT could use a donation of a 6 foot ladder. Please let us know if you have an old one that you do not need anymore. 

2.  FCT needs 4-6 seamstresses who are willing to sew costumes during out 2016-2017 season. Please let us know if you might be available to donate a bit of time. The amount of time can be determined by you. 

3. We are in desperate need of a storage place
for our props. ( garage, barn, back room of an office building, etc) The only requirement is that it has light and is weatherproof. We do not need outlets. It does not have to be climate controlled. We are a 501c3 organization and the space can be donated and used as a deduction off of your taxes as well as a few other perks that we can offer you.

Greater Tuna has 2 male characters that play 10 roles each. With lightening fast costume changes the characters are portrayed seamlessly to make the show an uproaring comedy. The setting is 1980's in Texas.  The play is notable in that two men play the entire cast of over twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages.
