Julia Cho’s award-winning The Language Archive and Kimberly Rosenstock’s Tigers Be Still will be part of the Roundabout Theatre Company’s fall 2010 season at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theater. Specific dates and casting will be announced later.

Cho’s play, to be directed by Mark Brokaw at the Laura Pels Theatre, recently won the 2010 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize awarded to an outstanding new English-language play by a woman. It centers on a linguist who discovers words may not be enough as his marriage crumbles and his career encounters a certain silence of its own. Cho was a finalist for the Blackburn Prize for her plays The Piano Teacher and 99 Histories. Among her other plays are Durango, The Winchester House, BFE, and The Architecture of Loss.

Tigers Be Still, to be directed by Sam Gold, will be presented as part of the theater’s Roundabout Underground in the Steinberg Center’s Black Box Theatre. It follows the story of a young woman who expects her life to fall into place immediately after she’s earned her masters degree in art therapy, but instead, finds that she’s unemployed and back at home hiding out in her childhood bed.
