Tigers Be Still

You've gotten to know them on stage and off. The Commonweal could not function without them. And now, they take center stage.

The 2013-14 Apprentice Company is set to open Tigers Be Still by Kim Rosenstock.

All we can tell you is that the play opens with a minor crisis: a tiger has just escaped from a local zoo. That crisis connects four people in a very unexpected way. You'll just have to see for yourself where the action goes from there.

Performance times are Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 1:30pm, March 20-March 30. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students and Season Pass Holders. Our MDC members are welcome free of charge.
