Sam Gold (Circle Mirror Transformation) directs this darkly funny and moving world premiere by Kim Rosenstock. TIGERS BE STILL follows the spectacular misadventures of Sherry, a substitute 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 off the couch.
Kim Rosenstock (Playwright) is currently earning her MFA in playwriting under the mentorship of Paula Vogel at the Yale School of Drama where she is the recipient of the Eugene O'Neill Memorial Scholarship. Her work has been developed and produced by The Kennedy Center, Ars Nova, The Old Vic in association with The Public Theater, Voice and Vision, the NY Fringe Festival, Vital Theatre and New York Stage & Film. Her play 99 Ways To Fuck A Swan was featured in Portland Center Stage's 2009 JAW Playwrights Festival. She was the Artistic Director of the 2009 Yale Summer Cabaret where she produced several shows including Fly-By-Night, a new indie rock musical she co-wrote about star-crossed love and blackouts. From 2005-2007 she was Associate Producer of Ars Nova in New York City where she produced new works of music, comedy and theater. She has her BA from Amherst College where she first began writing plays under the mentorship of Constance Congdon. She is originally from Baldwin, Long Island.
Sam Gold (Director) most recently directed the critically acclaimed production of Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation at Playwrights Horizons. He directed Nick Jones' Jollyship the Whiz-Bang, which played to a sold out run at Ars Nova in 2008. Other credits include Threepenny Opera (Juilliard), Anne Carson's translation of Electra (Williams College), Noah Haidle's Rag and Bone (Rattlestick), Sam Marks' The Joke (Studio Dante), Betty Shamieh's The Black Eyed (New York Theater Workshop), Colin McKenna's The Secret Agenda of Trees (Cherry Lane), Rogelio Martinez's Fizz (The Ohio Theater), Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (The Hangar Theater), Joanna Laurens' The Three Birds (Gale Gates), and Betty Shamieh's Chocolate in Heat (The Tank). Sam is the Resident Director at the Juilliard School, where his credits include Beau Willimon's War Story, Twelfth Night, Williams' Suddenly Last Summer, Willimon's Farragut North, Suzan-Lori Parks' In the Blood, and Marlowe's Edward II for the Juilliard Centennial Tour (REDCAT, LA/Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago). From 2003 to 2006, Sam served as Dramaturg at The Wooster Group.
