Due to strong demand, TheatreSquared’s production of Tiger Style!, an acclaimed new sibling comedy by Mike Lew that puts the "fun" in dysfunctional, will extend to add an additional seven shows during its run. Northwest Arkansas audiences have been enthusiastic about the show, directed by Chongren Fan, which the Washington Post called in a previous run "fast, smart, and sassy." The production will now continue through April 10, but may not extend further due to scheduling constraints.
Tickets for the new dates are now on sale, ranging from $20-$54, and can be purchased by calling (479) 777-7477 or visiting theatre2.org. Tiger Style! is performed in TheatreSquared’s Spring Theatre (477 W. Spring St., Fayetteville).
In accordance with CDC county-level data bringing Washington County into the "green" zone, and in alignment with NWA’s other major performing arts venues, the theatre’s masking requirement will sunset on April 4.
About the Play
Squabbling siblings Albert and Jennifer Chen reached the pinnacle of academic achievement. But as adults, they're epic failures: he's just been passed up for promotion and she's been dumped by her loser boyfriend. So, they confront their parents and launch an Asian Freedom Tour! From California to Shenzen, this hilarious new comedy tackles the successes and failures of tiger parenting — from a playwright who’s actually been through it.
Tiger Style! continues TheatreSquared's successful return to live theater in the 2021-2022 season, a season that included the smash-hit world premiere of Designing Women. The return to in-person performance came after a year of streaming work that was featured among the "Top Theatre of 2020" by The New York Times and led to T2’s recognition as an "outstanding drama company" by The Wall Street Journal.
