"Three weeks before the Chicago Marathon, Eileen Tull gets a 'concerned' email from a 'concerned' acquaintance who is very 'concerned' that she, fat as she is, plans on running the marathon. 'What are you trying to prove?' they ask."
Rotate Theatre Company, Fat Theatre Project, and the Women's and Gender Studies Consortium present the Wisconsin premiere of Too Fat To Run on Friday, April 11 at the Pyle Center in Madison. In this funny, thought-provoking 60 minute show, Eileen Tull brings the audience along her marathon journey, skillfully weaving stories touching on sizeism, accessibility, body image, disordered eating, sobriety, self doubt, self advocacy, and self love.
The performance is followed by a Q&A with Tull who wrote this entertaining play based on her own experiences. Tull, a Chicago-based actor, educator, and comedian, was recently featured in American Theatre for her work with Fat Theatre Project and is currently touring Too Fat To Run around the country. This performance is co-sponsored by Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies, Division of the Arts, and the Office of the Gender and Women's Studies Librarian.
