Arizona Repertory Theatre presents TIGERS BE STILL

Tigers Be Still Introduces Contemporary Playwright’s Voice with Promise of Heartbreak &
Side-Splitting Laughter

             TUCSON, AZ – “Tigers Be Still resides in that wonderful sweet spot between the heartbreakingly beautiful and the side-splittingly hilarious,” said UA Arizona Repertory Theatre’s Artistic Director and Theatre Professor, Brent Gibbs, who is also the director of Tigers Be Still. “It has the ability to make audiences laugh and cry at the same time, which is no small feat.”
            Author Kim Rosenstock is a contemporary playwright, who also wrote the musical Fly By Night and is a writer on the hit FOX show, New Girl. Many critics say her work captures the poetry of pain and is refreshingly honest. As a result, her characters are terrifically relatable and her stories, enjoyable.
            “Plays that are written today are a reflection of our society and hold a key to understanding our society’s time and social milieu for future generations,” said Lisa Pierce, director of marketing and development for the UA School of Theatre, Film & Television. She added that experiencing new work by award-winning playwrights should be as important to us as experiencing the classic plays of history.
            Once Gibbs started directing Tigers Be Still, his feelings about the play began to morph into something even deeper than before. “I started out referring to this show as a very funny play about depression,” Gibbs said, “but I have come to realize that it is that, but it is also a love letter to family and to hope.”
            The New York Times called Tigers Be Still “piercing, ferocious and devastatingly hilarious.”

Purchase Tickets to Judith

 

 

 

Artistic Director Ashley Bowman choreographs the world premiere of Judith, a story of heroism, struggle, power and spirituality. Art Historian Kevin Justus collaborates with Bowman to adapt the ancient story of the "Book of Judith", one of the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books of the Bible, dating back to the 2nd century B.C. Known for fusing contemporary movement, acting, and narrative, Artifact tells the tale of Judith, who goes against the great general Holofernes, commanded by the ruthless King Nebuchadnezzar. With surprising interpretations of these well-known biblical figures, the adaptation takes an already fictional account of religious history to new places. Dancer Ilaria Guerra takes on the title role. Mezzo-soprano Korby Myrick, percussionist Paul Gibson and pianist Richard Hereld provide live music, enhancing the narrative. Lighting designer Don Fox creates a dramatic atmosphere that adds a powerful element to the story telling. Judith places the strong and courageous woman front and center as she attempts to save her city from ruin.
