DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

This selection of short plays by H. Avery explores themes of trans-ness, disability, and the surreality of present conditions in America. Featuring FATSO GOES TO MCDONALD'S (recently published with Smith and Kraus), DO NOT RESUSCITATE (winner of Cypress Productions' New Plays Now 2024/ finalist with Spectrum Theatre Ensemble) and a new premiere, these selected shorts turn big ideas into bite-sized comedic chops. See you in McDonald's purgatory. 
Featuring Alexander Boyle, Michael Yussef Greene, Jenna LaBombard, Alexis Elisa Macedo, and Anne Wilding​
​

Fatso Goes to McDonald's contains mentions of suicide and may be distressing to audiences who have experienced disordered eating patterns. Please email [email protected] with any questions.​
