FREE Tickets to Every Child on Vashon for RED TIGER TALES!

One Show Only – Sunday, April 27 at 4pm

Four red-nose clowns, garbed in red and cream robes and red felt hats, perch atop each other. The one on the tip-top is shouting, enthusiastically… can you hear? What is she saying?

“Vashon children get FREE TICKETS!”
If you are a Vashon parent, hopefully your child has brought home a Red Tiger Tales bookmark that says FREE Youth Ticket. Thanks to a grant from 4Culture, Open Space for Arts & Community and UMO Ensemble are throwing open the doors and welcoming every Vashon child to see this delightful, exuberant show for free.

Red Tiger Tales recently finished a sold-out run at ACT Theatre in Seattle. A National Endowment for the Arts grant helped over 1,200 Seattle students see the show for free – and it was such a rewarding experience, UMO and Open Space wanted to bring it to Vashon.  

Red Tiger Tales uses the red-nose clown discipline to tell stories in the Buddhist, Sufi and Taoist traditions. Elements of karate and capoeira are mixed with clowning, tumbling and aerialist displays of strength and beauty.  Red Tiger Tales has played to rave reviews from both audience members and press, including:
“It’s Zen Loonie Tunes!” – an enthusiastic audience member; and, “UMO’s Red Tiger Tales blends physical theater with puppets, music, Sufi stories and sublime silliness. Eye candy for the kids, mind candy for the adults (and at only an hour and 10 minutes long, good for even the most determined wigglers).” – Parent Map

Red Tiger Tales plays for one performance only on Sunday, April 27, at 4pm. Doors open at 3:30pm. Adult tickets are $15 and on sales at Vashon Bookshop and at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/632996. All children must be accompanied by an adult; no more than 4 children per adult.

Open Space for Arts & Community is located at 18870 103rd Ave SW. For more information visit www.umo.org or www.openspacevashon.com, or call (206) 408-7241.
