About FAT PIG:
Showtimes: August 1-11, 2007, 8pm
Location: same as fundraiser (see above)
Synopsis:
Cow. Slob. Pig. How many insults can you hear before you have to
stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom faces just that
question when he falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young
woman who happens to be plus-sized -- and then some. Forced to
explain his new relationship to his shallow (although shockingly
funny) friends, he finally comes to terms with his own
preconceptions of the importance fo conventional good looks.
Neil LaBute's sharply drawn play not only critiques our slavish
adherence to Hollywood ideals of beauty but also boldly
questions our own ability to change what we dislike about
ourselves.
