7:30 p.m: Fat Feminists by: Ami Trowell
Fat Feminists by Ami C. Trowell is a hilarious, heartfelt exploration of friendship, body image, and what it means to live authentically. On a celebratory hike gone awry, two 50-year-old best friends confront everything from lost trails to lost dreams. With wit, warmth, and raw honesty, this play reminds us that sometimes, you have to climb a mountain to see your life from a new perspective. Don’t miss this sharp, funny, and oh-so-relatable story about the weight we carry and how we learn to put it down.
