Coming to Palm Springs for its first Southern California run, DEAL WITH THE DRAGON is the critically acclaimed grown-up fairy tale and a darkly camp comedy about the bargains we strike with ourselves and others in order to survive. Written and performed by Kevin Rolston and developed with and directed by M. Graham Smith. Deftly staged and artfully performed, the play unfolds as a cunning and sophisticated fable for adults who deal with demons and the made-up monsters that only some of us can vanquish.
Chosen as one of the top twenty theater shows to see at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe by The List, and named by KQED Arts’ John Wilkins as one of the “brilliant and startling Bay Area theater pieces” of that year.

Our story
TigerBear Productions started on its journey long before 2019. Our fore“bears” include the first artists who inspired us as wee cubs, and those who shaped and shared them with us. As we grew, we wondered again and again: who could we gather to tell a story with, and who could we gather to tell it to? Print and stage and screen evolved, and so did we, yet we kept renewing our love of making stories and making them happen. Here, now, we keep telling and making them, with more inspirations in our hearts and imaginations than we can count. Join our journey.
join us in our mission to inspire, elevate and delight!
