Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Statistics say that from 10 to 15 percent of the population are likely to experience a major episode of depression at some point in their life. Women are twice as likely as men to do so. So there's a whole lot of people out there who can relate to the theme of Kim Rosenstock's play "Tigers Be Still" that's playing at City Theatre through May 6.

Actors in City Theatre's 'Tigers' need to balance darkness with laughter

When I read the title for this article, I was expecting a much poorer review than was in actuality received. In fact, most of the text was simply stating what occurred in the production - making it not much of a review at all. When it finally came down to it, the opinion was passive at best. "Yeah, the show was okay, it could have been funnier." However, I really don't think it was supposed to be funny. A depressing show about depression, who knew? I understand that people sometimes go out to the theatre to have a good laugh, but if the author wanted that I don't think this was the right pick in the first place. (On another hand, 1hr 45min with no intermission is long!)
