What to do in Oklahoma on Oct. 10, 2009
Cristela Carrizales and Jeff Burleson perform a scene from Ghostlight Theatre Club’s production of “Fat Pig.”
Today’s featured event:
Watch Ghostlight Theatre Club stage the timely play “Fat Pig” at 8 p.m. today at the club’s Paseo theater space, 3110 N Walker.
Here is the synopsis:
Cow. Slob. Pig. How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom (Jeff Burleson) faces just that question when he falls for Helen (Cristela Carrizales), a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus-sized – and then some. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow friends, finally he comes to terms with his own preconceptions of the importance of conventional good looks. Neil LaBute’s sharply drawn play not only critiques our slavish adherence to Hollywood ideals of beauty but boldly questions our own ability to change what we dislike about ourselves.
Additional performances will be staged at 8 p.m. Oct. 15, 16 and 17 if you can’t make it tonight.
