Fat Pig by Neil LaBute
Cow. Slob. Pig. How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom faces just that question when he falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus sized-and then some. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow (although shockingly funny) friends, finally he comes to terms with his own preconceptions of the importance of conventional good looks. Neil LaBute's sharply drawn play not only critiques our slavish adherence to Hollywood ideals of beauty but boldly questions our own ability to change what we dislike about ourselves. This is a smart, telling drama with comic elements.

CLOSING NIGHT FILM, Filmmaker in attendance
Saturday May 30 | 7:30 PM | Granville 7 Theatre
The human need to make sense of a random and wildly unpredictable universe flows through director Jennifer Baichwal’s new documentary Act of God. The film explores not only the phenomena of lightning and the experiences of people who lived through being struck (and those who did not), but poses metaphysical questions that have confounded human beings since the beginning of conscious thought.
