Photo Coverage: Roundabout's TIGERS BE STILL Meets the Press

Yesterday, August 19, the cast of Roundabout's Tigers Be Still, a new play by Kim Rosenstock and directed by Sam Gold met the press. BroadwayWorld was there and brings you photo coverage below. Tigers Be Still features Reed Birney (Joseph), Halley Feiffer (Sherry), Natasha Lyonne (Grace), and John Magaro (Zack).

Tigers Be Still will begin previews performances on Friday, September 10th, 2010 and will officially open on Wednesday, October 6th, 2010. This will be a limited engagement through Sunday, November 21st.

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

Tigers Be Still is a comedy that follows the story of Sherry Wickman, a young woman who expects the perfect career and life to fall into place immediately upon earning her masters degree in art therapy. Instead, Sherry finds herself unemployed, overwhelmed and back at home hiding out in her twin-sized childhood bed. But when Sherry gets hired as a substitute art teacher, things begin to brighten up. 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 be just perfect.

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.
