The Huntington Theatre Company and GBH present Tiger Style!
Do you miss going to the theater? GBH and the Huntington Theatre Company have teamed up to bring you the critically acclaimed play, Tiger Style!, as an audio play airing from 6-8pm on Saturday, February 6 on GBH 89.7, the GBH News app, and right here on wgbh.org.
The show, which received rave reviews for its portrayal of an Asian American family with wit and humor, has been reimagined as an audio-only theatrical experience, and will be hosted by GBH Executive Arts Editor Jared Bowen. The Huntington previously produced Tiger Style! on stage at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA in 2016 to great acclaim. The Boston Globe called it “a sharply observed comedy,” and Bowen said it was “uproariously funny.”
And, because everyone loves dinner and a show, the Massachusetts Restaurant Association is also collaborating with the Huntington and GBH to elevate the broadcast of “Tiger Style!” into a “tune in and take out” event. The collaboration encourages audiences to pick up takeout from their favorite restaurants to enjoy while listening to the audio play at home.
In addition to the live event, the Huntington will also launch the audio production as a podcast in four weekly installments, starting Thursday, February 4, along with a companion podcast series “Exploring Tiger Style!” — a bonus content series of insightful conversations with actors, artists, and community members, curated by the Huntington education and artistic departments.
