Senior Citizen. Old Timer. Senile. Over the Hill. Crone. Geriatric. Old Fogey. What's hiding behind the labels we use?
Many of us ask if we measure up- and if we even matter- in today's anxious, changing world. This new play invites you to wonder, dance and laugh beyond appearances into a mystery of Something Else. Prepare to be surprised when you join Oakland actress Susannah Wood, who presents her original exploration of identity and belonging.
Join us as Virgie reads from her new book "You Have the Right to Remain Fat.” Growing up as a fat girl, Virgie Tovar believed that her body was something to be fixed. But after two decades of dieting and constant guilt, she was over it―and gave herself the freedom to trust her own body again.
Mrs. Dalloway's Book Store will be on site to sell Ms. Tovar’s books.
