Fat-positive theatre, October 6th
by mlaurenking＠gmail.com 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Playwright Meredith L. King in Partnership with GENERATION+ Present Fat-Positive Play Saturated Fat “Saturated Fat” Created by Meredith L. King in Collaboration with the Saturated Fat Ensemble Saturday, October 6 @ 7:00 pm. Doors open 6:30 pm. The Nash on E. 80th also known as Slovenian National Home (3563 E 80th St, Cleveland) $15 General Admission | Online Ticket Sales Here Space Permitting, Tickets will be sold at the door for $20 CASH ONLY Synopsis: Created by Meredith L. King, in collaboration with the Saturated Fat Ensemble; Saturated Fat is an original theatrical spectacle that explores fatness, connection and visibility in the modern world. This ONE-NIGHT ONLY live play derives from the real life experiences of the ensemble, as well as experiences shared through the Twitter hashtag #FatSideStories. Originally developed in Cleveland Public Theatre's Entry Point series in 2017, Saturated Fat is back and better than ever as an independent production with new content and a new cast. Saturated Fat is an immersive experience in fatness that explores both the unique and universal in existing in a theorized, politicized and often deconstructed body, and aims to find power in that reality. Far from being a “woe as me” tale, Saturated Fat rethinks fatness and the meaning we give to it through a thoughtful and humorous integration of movement, music, story and theatricality. ========================= Showing at The Nash on E. 80th 3563 E 80th St, Cleveland, OH 44105 Saturday, October 6, 2018 Doors open at 6:30pm Show starts at 7:00pm *The Nash is handicap accessible with ramp entrance located in the rear right of the building.* Purchase tickets here: https://saturatedfat.ticketspice.com/saturated-fat-the-show For more info, follow us here: https://www.facebook.com/fatsonstage or email us at saturatedfatshow(a)gmail.com _____________________________________ Saturated Fat is currently funded in part by a grant from NOLOSE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit as part of the Small Projects Across the Land initiative. ______________________________________ NOLOSE is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to ending the oppression of fat people and creating vibrant fat queer culture. The organization incubates national and regional conferences and supports and funds regional programming to bring together members of our diverse fat LGBT, queer, same gender loving, trans, and sex positive communities. More information on NOLOSE can be found online at nolose.org . ______________________________________ About the Project Partner GENERATION+ is an Ohio based startup whose mission is to create a celebratory community, that doesn’t currently exist for fat women to connect with their peers. They are revolutionary fat girls with bold attitudes who just want to do fun things with their fat friends. GENERATION+ serves as a hub focused on authentic relationship building that empowers fat-positivity in safe spaces. ###

*Playwrights Local* *(http://playwrightslocal.org/ <http://playwrightslocal.org/>)* *Seeks multiple cast members* *For a staged reading on Tuesday, October 9* *Why the World Would End Without Pomegranates* A new play by Morgan E. Elswick Directed by Tim Tavcar Synopsis *Why the World Would End Without Pomegranates* is a modern adaptation of the Greek Persephone myth, except in this version, Persephone is given much more autonomy.

The setting should be modern-day, with scenes taking place in the Underworld, on a mountain, and in a town. Cast *Persephone*: Goddess of Spring (female; early 20s) *Demeter*: Goddess of the Harvest (female; 40s-50s) *Hades*: King of the Underworld; God of the Dead (male; 40s-50s) *Zeus*: King of the Gods; God of Thunder and Lightning (male; 50s+) *Hecate*: Goddess of Crossroads and Necromancy (female; 40s+) *Helios*: The Sun (male; 20s-30s) There will be 1-2 rehearsals in Cleveland. The reading will be on *Tuesday, October 9* at 7:00pm at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts, 397 East 156th Street, Cleveland. This is an unpaid reading, but a great chance to be a part of a new play!
