Tigers Be Still Tickets

Sherry Wickman is a young woman who expects the perfect career and life to fall into place immediately upon earning her masters degree in art therapy. Instead, Sherry finds herself unemployed, overwhelmed and back at home hiding out in her twin-sized childhood bed. But when Sherry gets hired as a substitute art teacher, things begin to brighten up. Now if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would leave his gun at home and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would just be perfect.

Story

What Is the Story of Tigers Be Still?
Tigers Be Still is about Sherry Wickman, a young woman who earns a Mmaster’s degree in art therapy only to end up unemployed and living at home with her depressed sister who drinks on the couch all day and her mother who won’t come downstairs. Sherry is sinking with them until a ray of hope shines through: a job. She gets hired to teach art by the principal at a local school (and once upon a time, her mother’s prom date), and he also hires her as a therapist for his teenage son Zach. She helps both of their families regain their footing as she finds her own. As Sherry puts is, “This is the story of how I got out of bed.”
