Here is a little moment captured during the Tigers Be Still tech extravaganza this weekend:<\/p>\n

No, we\u2019re not trying to hoover Tostitos crumbs from the carpet into our mouths… although I wouldn\u2019t put it past us, judging from way we\u2019ve nommed Ephporium\u2019s entire stock of carbohydrates over the last two days.<\/p>\n
Instead I\u2019d like to title this vignette \u201cStill Life of Tigers, Loving the Set.\u201d It\u2019s been great to get into our space. While rehearsals in Wood living room and the Makepeace Room were intimate and incredible (I wouldn\u2019t give up Lily running to the Greylock bathroom screaming \u201cSUPER PEE!\u201d for anything,) I think we\u2019re all glad to be in the CenterStage. Here, the dulcet tones of a rugby team upstairs throwing all of the things can\u2019t reach us.<\/p>\n
While we\u2019re tired after this weekend, it was worth it to see the creations from our fabulous designers come together in one room (not to mention watching stage manageress Anna Barnes be a boss from her tech-table-throne.) As many in my current Plays and Performance class can attest to, a wise woman named Anne Bogart once said to think of a play as a peep show, and to imagine that each designer and actor and director and stage manager had their own little window with its own little curtain onto the play. And when these many little window views get added together… poof. You\u2019ve got a show.<\/p>\n
I asked some of the cast, crew and production team to tell me what their view of Tigers Be Still was — either their experience working on the show, or what they saw when they watched it. But so we wouldn\u2019t go full Williams-admissions-essay on you guys, I asked them to do it in six words or less. Here\u2019s what they had to say.<\/p>\n
Emily Loveridge \u201914, Assistant Stage Manager: \u201cDepressed people finding comedy in hope.\u201d
\nHolly Fisher \u201913, Set Designer: \u201cTop Gun. Tom Cruise. Bubbliness. Bannister.\u201d
\nLily Riopelle \u201914, Director: \u201cAAAAAABOOOOOJEEEEEEDAaaaa. Feelings.\u201d [plus wild gesticulations.]
\nPetra Mijanovic \u201914, Grace: \u201cJack Daniels. Waiting for car horn.\u201d
\nEmily Ciavarella \u201913, Production Manager: \u201cPeople should go to work call.\u201d
\nGriffith Simon \u201915, Lighting Designer: \u201cSeriously, get your ass to work call.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wanna know how all of these come together (PLUS MUCH MORE?)<\/p>\n
I have six small words for you:
\nThis. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Seven. Thirty.<\/p>\n
And also:
\nBe there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
