Playing at the Intersection of: 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.

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.
