Cleveland Public Theatre
presents
Through March 30, 2024
Test Flight is a multi-week series that showcases new work
on its way to full production. It
provides both local and national/international artists with the keys to the theatre and the opportunity to co-produce original works-in-progress. The series encourages risk-taking and an entrepreneurial spirit towards creating new work while
offering artists a structured support system. The event closes this week Tales of a Fat Man.
WEEK 4: March 28 - 30
Written by Tyree J. Franklin
Directed by: Roy Tyrone James II
As you can guess, the play follows the journey of a larger man's past, present, and future of navigating
this world in the body he's had since childhood. It's a sort of coming-of-age retelling of the good, bad, & ugly tendencies of society. There's also a
new age Greek style chorus that accompanies and sometimes antagonizes the 'Fat Man' on his journey to Self-love.
