Prince Charming, You’re Late

Once upon a time, young Billy waited for Prince Charming’s rescue. They would live in some far-off kingdom with lots of waltzing. And princess dresses. When an enchanting man half his age and arrow-straight appeared one day, did Billy stop dreaming of happily ever after? Dream on… A true life fable, a one-man middle-age-ed cautionary tale, developed with generous support from the Emerging Artists Theatre New Work Series in NYC.

Pride & Joy

Amid the darknesses of 2020, TigerBear Productions wanted to illuminate. To not simply lift up but send whatever stories we could aloft, like helium balloons, SpaceX rockets, paper lanterns. To light up the virtual stage with stories of pride and joy from persons we didn’t know, who had stories to tell that needed to be heard. Benefitting Pittsburgh’s Casa San Jose, Chicago’s Howard Brown Health Center, D.C.’s Casa Ruby, Alliance San Diego, Haiti Cultural Exchange, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Graham Smith, Missed Connections is a collection of 3-minute micromonologues that disrupt this pandemic pause and celebrate those brief, random, in-person encounters queer folks experienced on the regular during pre-COVID times.

Lines of Movement, Lines of Modernism

Birdsinging, Dance and Storytelling with a Tour of the Butler-Jaffe House

The 1971 Butler-Jaffe House in Indian Canyons is an exquisite showcase for second-wave midcentury modernism. Fifty years after its construction, the house provides Modernism Week 2021 attendees a unique chance to experience its architecture, design, and style alongside stories, birdsongs performed by singers and dancers from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and modern movement choreographed and performed by the Nickerson-Rossi Dance company. The event embraces modernism, movement, and migration, and honors the local Native Americans whose land the house sits on.
