What the reviewers saw:

"Under Moritz's spirited direction, the four Dobama actors create admirably
specific characters that lead to several crystalline moments of comedy and
pathos."
Christine Howey, Cleveland Plain Dealer

 "This funny, intelligently-written and well-acted show raises the bar for
the rest of the season."
Marjorie Preston, Sun News

"Producing new work is always a risk, says Dobama's managing director Dianne
Boduszek. In this charming production, the risk pays off."

Synopsis of TIGERS BE STILL
Sherry Wickman, a young woman who expects the perfect life to fall into
place after earning a degree, instead finds herself underemployed,
overwhelmed and back home in her twin-sized childhood bed.  Her mother won't
emerge from the bedroom, her drunken sister's taken up residence on the
couch, her boss won't leave his gun at home and ... a tiger's escaped from
the zoo.
 
Critically acclaimed in it 2010 New York premiere, TIGERS BE STILL is a
quirky, endearing and deliciously dark new comedy.
