Three weeks before the Chicago Marathon, Eileen 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.
In this funny, thought-provoking 60 minute show, Eileen Tull brings the audience along her marathon journey, skillfully weaving stories touching on sizeism, access, body image, disordered eating, sobriety, self doubt, self advocacy, and self love.
The Wisconsin premiere of Too Fat To Run 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.
