In February and March, the Theatre Troupe's comedy will take a dark turn with Kim Rosenstock's "Tigers Be Still." The play follows the misadventures of Sherry Wickman, a young woman who recently earned her master's degree in art only to move back home with her family while sending out resumes. When a job offer finally comes, Sherry only needs her mother to come downstairs, her sister to get off the couch, her first therapy patient to do one of his take-home assignments, her new boss to leave his gun at home, and someone to catch the tiger that escaped the local zoo for everything to be perfect. Blinn will present the play at 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, Feb. 23-25, at the Bryan Campus Student Center Theatre and at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, March 2-4, at the Texas A&M College of Liberal Arts Performance Studies Black Box Theatre. The play is recommended for ages 13 and up.
