Regional Premiere

Firehouse Theater presents

Tigers Be Still

By Kim Rosenstock

Directed by Luke Allen Terry

A tiger has broken loose from the local zoo, but Sherry has bigger problems. She's a recent college graduate with a master’s degree in art therapy. But like so many 20-somethings who find themselves back at home, here she sits, unemployed, overwhelmed and dealing with her depressed family. Happily, things begin to brighten up when she gets hired as a high school art teacher. Now if only the principal would leave his rifle at home, her sister would get off the couch, her mother would come downstairs, her first patient would just do one of his art therapy assignments, and someone would catch the damned tiger, everything would be perfect.
