Actor and playwright Jaston Williams took the traditions and characters of small-town Southern life to create a show that touched audiences for decades – even performing at the White House for former President George Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush.
Williams is known for creating and performing the Greater Tuna shows set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas.
Plus, what is it about traditions and memories that bring us closer together, especially at this time of year?
