Fat Pig debuted Off-Broadway in 2004 and is one of Neil LaBute’s beautiful, poignant and relevant human stories exploring our expectations around dating and falling in love. Through Labute’s fierce and comedic dialogue, we share his character’s experiences as their attitudes about beauty, self worth, and those they feel are deserving of love are confronted. Tom, a handsome successful salesman, falls in love with Helen, a Librarian and plus size woman. His friends reject her. ...The social pressures mount and the strains on friendships rise. Tom and Helen search for strength in themselves and each other. Filled with twists and turns, Fat Pig presents true-to-life issues we all face today. In our production, Carter, Tom’s best friend, is played as a butch woman revealing complicated layers of friendship and dating, crossing all boundaries.
