King <https://www.facebook.com/mlkplaywright/>, in collaboration with the Saturated Fat Ensemble; *Saturated Fat <https://www.facebook.com/fatsonstage>* 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 <https://www.revelist.com/dating/fat-side-stories-about-sex/4296>. 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 a transgressive 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* *7:00pm - 10:30 pm* For Tickets: *https://saturatedfat.ticketspice.com/saturated-fat-the-show <https://saturatedfat.ticketspice.com/saturated-fat-the-show>* For More Info: https://www.facebook.com/fatsonstage <http://playwrightslocal.org/> *The Nash is handicap accessible with ramp entrance located in the rear right of the building.* _____________________________________ *Saturated Fat* is currently funded in part by a grant from NOLOSE <http://nolose.org/>, 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.
