Opening Sat 10/9 @ 7:30PM
Morbidly obese John Doe can’t get out of bed, yet his spiritual self can’t stay still, flying overhead in the form of a beautiful trapeze artist.
Then…
John is driven to make a dangerous decision by his hypercritical Aunt Jane and his manipulating therapist. He will undergo a radical new surgery that will make him thin or kill him, and he stumbles into world fame as a reality show star…
Catch the world-premiere of Don’t Call Me Fat, a darkly funny comedy on over-consumption and our need for reduction and redemption, opening on Sat 10/9. Turkish writer and director Ozen Yula’s play is visually stunning and supported by a strong ensemble of performers.
