Fat Pig Photos - Off-Broadway

The Arena Players Repertory Theater Company presents present Neil LaBute's provocative and insightful dark comedy, 'Fat Pig'. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

FAT PIG tells the story of Tom (Jonathan Bray), a young career guy who hits it off with Helen (Deidra Edwards), a bright, sexy woman who happens to be plus-sized.
