Amie Enriquez's LIGHTWEIGHT Will Play 2023 FRIGID Fringe Festival This Month

Amie Enriquez will present the solo play Lightweight, written by Amie and directed by Lauren Weedman.

Lightweight is the darkly comedic true story of Amie Enriquez's year spent in a 28-day addiction treatment center to recover from anorexia. After a lifetime of "wanting to disappear", Amie almost does after experiencing 9/11 while living in NYC. Living in deep denial of her disease, Amie maintains a painfully cheerful disposition while navigating the inconvenient side effects of laxative abuse and dodging dinners with her pushy Italian family. When she unwillingly enters rehab, she becomes fixated on being the perfect addict... until a new patient enters treatment and turns her pseudo euphoric world upside down.
