Jeffrey Gilpin and Alan King, bewigged, overalled, and platform-heeled, and always tinseled in honestly-played battiness, welcome you to Tuna, Texas, a quintessential nosey parker small town. Though cheekbones ached from smiling, outright laughter less common - King’s hesitancy mixed with Gilpin’s hyper-intensity made for off-beat pacing; scenes need to find levels.

Ann Landers introduces Eppie, woman behind typewriter. Comedy garnered surprisingly few laughs. Script distances audience, avoids making Eppie fully-developed, warts-‘n-all person, instead offers Best of Ann Landers lifeline. Gretchen Rumbaugh’s characterization nearly pitch-perfect if only she’d break fourth wall rather than hiding behind Landers’ façade. Nathan Burkes/Craig Hudson’s set tasteful.
