Photo Coverage: TIGERS BE STILL Opens at Roundabout

Tigers Be Still is a limited engagement through Sunday, November 21st. All tickets for Roundabout Underground productions are $20.

The creative team includes Dane Laffrey (Sets & Costumes), Japhy Weideman (Lighting) & Fitz Patton (Sound).

Tigers Be Still follows the spectacular misadventures of Sherry, an art teacher who, in the midst of mentoring a troubled teen and dealing with a tiger on the loose, faces her biggest challenge yet... getting her sister of the couch.

Tigers Be Still is the fourth production of Roundabout Underground, an initiative launched in 2007 to introduce and cultivate artists in Roundabout's 62-seat Black Box Theatre, at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street, NYC, NY, 10036). Prior productions include Speech & Debate (2007), The Language of Trees (2008) & Ordinary Days (2009). In spring 2011, Roundabout Underground will present David West Read's The Dream of Burning Boy, directed by Evan Cabnet.

Roundabout Underground is an initiative to showcase new plays that will either allow an experienced director to go back to his/her creative roots or give a debut production to an emerging writer or director. Robyn Goodman (Artistic Consultant to the Roundabout), who has significant artistic development experience, is curating the initiative that continues to be a creative breeding ground for nurturing new talent. The 62-seat Black Box Theatre, below the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, allows Roundabout to take artistic risks that are better suited for a more intimate space.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundaboutunderground.org or at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre box office (111 West 46 Street). The ticket price is $20.00 for all seats. All tickets for Tigers Be Still will be issued as General Admission passes for first-come, first-served seating on the show date.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:Tigers Be Still plays Tuesday through Sunday evenings at 7:00PM with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 1:30PM.
