The Huntington’s hit 2016 production of Mike Lew’s Tiger Style! has been newly recorded as an audio play, to be released weekly as a series of four podcast episodes with a companion podcast series "Exploring Tiger Style!" full of insightful conversations with artists, community members, and more!
Squabbling siblings Albert and Jennifer Chen reached the pinnacle of academic achievement. But as adults, they’re epic failures: he’s just been passed up for promotion and she’s been dumped by her loser boyfriend. So, naturally, they confront their parents and launch an Asian Freedom Tour! From California to China, this hilarious comedy examines race, parenting, and success with wit and sharp humor.
