In Greater Tuna, two actors play everyone who lives in a small Texas town. The Beck Center's production of this comedy by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard stars Nicholas Koesters and Kevin Joseph Kelly as the men, women, kids, and animals of Tuna, Texas' third-smallest town. It's not the first time Koesters and Kelly have played these roles. They starred in Beck's original production back in 1997.

The play — the first part of the Tuna Trilogy, which also includes A Tuna Christmas and Red, White, and Tuna —satirizes rural America. Characters include redneck radio hosts, a dejected cheerleader, and a shady preacher. Koesters and Kelly don cheap suits, funny hats, and plenty of dresses to bring them all to life onstage.
Sundays, 3 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m. Starts: Nov. 26. Continues through Dec. 17

Swim at a Public Pool For those of us not lucky enough to have a friend with a pool, the region’s public swimming offerings are the next best thing. There are, of course, Cleveland’s public pools, but with erratic openings based on temperatures and staffing, they are hardly worth counting on. Luckily, you can snag a guest day pass in many suburbs where the water is warm and the beach chairs bountiful: Dragga Pool in Mayfield Heights will run you $10 as a non-resident, Walter’s Grove in Parma will cost you just $6, Parma Heights’ primo pool awaits for $8, Foster and Becks Pools in Lakewood will let you in for $5.50, and Beachwood’s absolutely stunning outdoor aquatic center will refresh and entertain you for $10.
