BODYLOVE: QUEER BODIES REVEALED THROUGH THE SPOKEN WORD!
BodyLove will open your eyes and your heart, as 10 talented and distinct writers take the stage to REVEAL untold stories about queer bodies. A benefit show for National Eating Disorders Association, BodyLove will take you on a journey through the PAIN, SHAME, RECOVERY and liberation of "the tyranny of thin," and other battles with body image and eating addiction/disorders. But don't forget the LOVE! The evening will also celebrate the beauty and BOUNTY of bodies, flaunting who we are and entertaining the outrageous notion that what we've got is SUPER HOT.
