If y'all ain't from around here, you should know that people in these parts have their own way of doing things. But if the local Lion's Club is considered liberal, you're probably in a town like Tuna, Texas. It's the small-town fictional setting for a series of satirical plays about some diminutive towns and their alien-chasing denizens who harbor dreams of making a fortune in taxidermy. Red, White and Tuna runs through June 26 at the Flower Mound Performing Arts Theatre, 830 Parker Square in Flower Mound. The theater is open Thursday through Sunday. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $20 to $30. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 972-724-2147 or visit fmpat.org.
June 23-26; Sat., July 2, 8 p.m.; Sun., July 3, 2:30 p.m., 2011
