Second weekend of Tigers Be Still at Twin Masks
by Claudia Lillibridge 09 Aug '22

09 Aug '22

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 and 3, in Twinsburg, is proud to present its second weekend of performances for Tigers Be Still, written by Kim Rosenstock and directed by Alex Nine. Remaining performance dates are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm, August 12, 13, 19 and 20. Adult tickets are $15 and Senior/ Students $10. Visit www.twinmasks.org to purchase tickets or call 330-888-3211. *PLEASE NOTE THE PLAY DEALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND DEPRESSION AND CONTAINS STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18.* Cast includes: Andreea Ciabanu as Sherry; Gabriella Terranova as Grace; Will Landis as Zack; and Tim Hirzel as Joseph. Tigers Be Still is a comedy that follows the misadventures of Sherry Wickman, a young woman who has recently earned her master's degree in art therapy only to find herself moving back home with her family, sending out countless resumes and waiting for a job offer that never comes. Unemployed and overwhelmed, Sherry retreats to her childhood bed and remains there until an unexpected employment opportunity gives her a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Now if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would just be perfect.
