Enjoy a free performance of Brer Tiger & The Big Wind by Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe at The Bay!
Brer Tiger and The Big Wind is part of WBTT’s education program, Rhythm & Tales. A heartwarming musical, it is a re-telling of the William J. Faulkner classic tale about Brer Rabbit organizing the other animals in the forest and how they impishly trick Brer Tiger into sharing food and water with them during a famine. Playfully reimagined by Jim Weaver and his talented artists at Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, this musical will sing, dance, and growl its way into your heart!
