Tigers Be Still – School of Theatre, Film & Television

Two modern families find that happiness is not as impossible as it seems in this new comedy, by Kim Rosenstock. Laughter and heartbreak find their perfect balance as Rosenstock introduces us to characters that are at once familiar, but refreshingly new. Redemption is the treasure that each of these characters finds at the end of their search, and we are all the richer for accompanying them on their journey. This comedy introduces us to a playwright with an important and original voice.

Wooo!!!!!

TFTV sophomore Ollin Acosta has been cast in his first leading role in ‘Alebrijes,’ taking place at the Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre Oct 17 - Nov 3.

The bilingual show, created by Georgina Escobar and directed for The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre by Marc Pinate, follows a man who falls deathly ill and has a dream in a mythological forest of creatures. The story is a playful homage to Pedro Linares, the real-life creator of alebrijes, the fantastical creatures made of wood or papier-mâché that have become synonymous with Mexico. Set in present-day San Luis Potosí, in Xochimilco in 1936, and in an afterlife that resembles a psychedelic Oaxacan jungle, young Pedro realizes his artistic potential and creates a cultural legacy.

“It means so much to me to be part of Alebrijes,” says Ollin. “It’s a magical story firmly rooted in Mexico that gives audiences a sense of what it means to be Mexican. And I love the journey that Pedro undertakes, finding his true self - and flourishing.”
