SYNOPSIS: Bulletins from FATLAND is a darkly funny, sometimes shocking play about acceptance and redemption in the context of obesity, food obsession and body image. The "bulletins" are monologues by women of various shapes and sizes:

• Sister Windy, a nun-cum-art-historian with a love of zaftig women

• Earline, an African American minister, who discovers there's more to Hansel and Gretyl than the gingerbread house

• Yoshiko, a female sumo wrestler with a strategic advantage

• Marjorie, a Big Easy waitress with an appetite as huge as her dark secret

• Sarah Jane, a chocoholic who redeems herself through yoga

• Caroline, a society matron on the art of purging

• Marianne, an exemplary wife powerless over her husband's eating

• Irene, a Jewish Twelve-Stepper who fires the God of her ancestors

• LaKeesha, an African American woman who appreciates every single thing about her body

• Jennifer, in a panic over the "freshman fifteen" pounds she's gained during her first semester of college

• Sree, an internist from India who discovers the reason for her nocturnal eating.
