What a night! The Process Theatre did it again with Madeleine George's "The Most Massive Woman Wins" and Marki Shalloe's "Barbie Dream House." The first was a lesson for us all: women are beautiful, no matter what they look like. The harsh words that these characters heard growing up, being in relationships, and just walking on the street - harsh. Mean. Taking self-esteem early. And it's just hard to hear it, but it needs to be heard: women going to a lyposuction center to remove pieces of themselves that society hadn't gotten to yet. Very well done by the outstanding Stacia Kingston, the divine Mrs. Kara Cantrell, the ever-talented Amy Cain and the fabulous Fracena Byrd.
Barbie's Dream House was a shock - complete and necessary. Seeing the "real women" confront Barbie in her world and then for Barbie to experience "real world" problems ...amazing. What a slap in the face and a reality check! Nicely done, Marki!
