Big Mouth Thunder Thighs
A solo vaudeville about body and food that intertwines memoir storytelling with a highly-theatrical, unpredictable, and outrageously entertaining variety show featuring: stand-up comedy, singing, dancing, spoken word poetry, an ancient folktale plus five "Death-Defying Acts." It's a surprisingly funny one-woman extravaganza about how we deal with our inner critics and what it takes for us to accept ourselves.

"A theatrical creation [that] bares its soul...and shakes it booty." - The Portland Phoenix
"It's the best kind of play--because it's a comedy--but it will totally surprise you with the emotional wallop it packs. It's at once small and simple and personal...and it blows up to be big and complex and important and universal." - John Cariani, award-winning playwright of ALMOST, MAINE.
