THEATRE + COMEDY

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents the World Premiere of I Heard That! – the hilarious new comedy by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard, creators of “Greater Tuna,” August 4-14, 2011.

Jaston Williams and Tony Award- nominee Joe Sears return to Galveston’s Grand 1894 Opera House for the World Premiere of I Heard That, August 4-14. Written by Sears, Williams and Ed Howard, you won’t want to miss these master comedians and original cast members of the nationally-acclaimed Tuna series: Greater Tuna, A Tuna Christmas, Red, White and Tuna, and Tuna Does Vegas in this hilarious new comedy.

In their dynamic comedic tradition, Sears and Williams once again portray over twenty different characters. This time, instead of “the citizens of the third smallest town in Texas”, the entire world serves as the target for their outrageously-satiric comedy. Ranging from such situations as testy marriages gone postal, beekeepers in search of a buzz, political hacks desperate for the next crazy issue, totalitarian dictators maxing out their credit cards, and Civil War re-enactments gone bad, to that out-sourced guy in India who can't help you with your problem, you won’t want to miss finding out for yourself why critics have called Sears and Williams "living treasures of the American Theatre."

The producers of I HEARD THAT! announced today that the world premiere scheduled for August 4-14 at The Grand 1894 Opera House, starring Jaston Williams and Joe Sears, has been postponed by one week due to a recent medical issue affecting Mr. Sears.

“Our immediate priority was to ensure Joe is 100% healthy, and fully ready to open this highly-anticipated production.” states co-star Jaston Williams. “Through the care of excellent physicians, Joe is remarkably better and looks forward to getting back to the stage.”
