Too Fat for China
Written, drawn, and performed by Phoebe Potts
A Comic Look at the Agony of Adoption
Too Fat for China is a one-hour comedic storytelling performance about adoption, race in America and making a family by any means necessary. It has a light footprint for theaters- it's just Phoebe and my traveling crankie - a giant roll of mural sized comix.
"RIOTOUS AND RAW" -NPR's Morning Edition
Too Fat for China is a hilarious, introspective, and poignant glimpse into one woman’s journey to motherhood - warts and all. Phoebe is an immensely talented storyteller who can take your breath away with one sentence and leave you laugh-crying the next. She weaves a masterful and compelling narrative of the unavoidable trauma, tragedy, and commodification that surrounds the adoption industry, along with the groundswell of primal love -from both birth and chosen family - surrounding the process.
September 11, 12 at 7:30pm, September 13 at 2pm, 7:30pm, September 14 at 2pm.
