TIGER TALES

The Thao family in St. Paul is in turmoil with kids bickering and the parents at their wits end. But grandma Pu comes to the rescue, settling everyone down with tales of Tigers back home in Laos. The stories range from ironic as in Nine Cubs Every Year, to scary and metaphorical as in Yer and the Tiger, where a young girl fends off a sneaky tiger. Full of fun songs and quirky characters like singing monkeys and clever crows, this play brings home the Hmong storytelling traditions in a way that can apply to all our lives today.
