My Tiger resonated deeply with me as an Asian American. It brought to the surface things I’ve rarely dared to say out loud, experiences that are personal, but shared by so many in our community.

Throughout the show, he comes out to share context, pieces from a memory, and then has actors live them out through a series of vignettes. This is an insightful and enjoyable show. ... full review
