TheatreWorks Silicon Valley presents “Tiger Style!”
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will stage the hilarious East-meets-West comedy “Tiger Style!” This razor-sharp satire examines the cause and effects of strict “tiger” parenting, as 30-something Ivy League graduate siblings Albert and Jennifer wallow in their adult dissatisfactions with life despite their childhood ultra-achievements. When their lives fall apart, they blame their parents and run away from California to China on an “Asian Freedom Tour” where calamity ensues. Seen together in TheatreWorks’ “The Language Archive,” Obie Award winner Francis Jue (“Soft Power,” “Yellow Face,” “M. Butterfly”) and “Gilmore Girls” actor/theatre mainstay Emily Kuroda return to TheatreWorks as the siblings’ parents, joined by Jenny Nguyen Nelson, Will Dao, and Jeremy Kahn. Written by Guggenheim Fellow Mike Lew (“Teenage Dick”), “Tiger Style!” made its World Premiere at Alliance Theatre and has since performed at leading theatres across the country. In-demand director/playwright and TheatreWorks Associate Producer of Casting & Literary Management Jeffrey Lo, whose productions of “Little Shop of Horrors,” “The Language Archive,” and “The Santaland Diaries” have been seen at TheatreWorks, directs this witty comedy that will resonate with any parent who ever tried to help their child, and any child who has ever blamed their parents.
