My Tiger was a beautiful journey through what it's like growing up as a mixed-race person in the U.S. Honest and hilarious and gut-wrenching at times, in the best way.... full review

CHRIS CHYUN certified reviewer June 11, 2025
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. One moment in the play that struck me was when Didi, is asked, "Where are you from?" by a white person, a question I, and many other Asians in America, have heard too often. Despite living here most of my life, I still struggle to answer it. I’m never quite sure what the person really means, or why they’re asking. Is it curiosity? Is it something else?

An important piece about an experience that is not usually portrayed, "My Tiger" tells the story of Didi, a mixed-race boy growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

ALON DINA stage takes certified reviewer June 09, 2025
tagged as: culture · one man show
An honest and unique approach to storytelling. Dionysus took the concept of a one-man show to another level with this project. In this production, Didi tells us of the experience of growing up as a mixed race boy in the U.S in the early 1990s and how that shapes him to who he is today. 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
