“Fat Pig” by Neil Labute

Performance Dates: June 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 Directed by Tawnya Drake Cow. Slob. Pig. How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love?

Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow friends, Tom finally comes to terms with his own preconceptions of the importance of good looks. LaBute’s sharply drawn play not only critiques our slavish adherence to Hollywood ideals of beauty but boldly questions our ability to change what we dislike about ourselves.
