A spokesperson says---
"...Ellie wants to swim in college, Katie wants a healthy baby, and Susan wants her husband to be alive..."
"...BELLY is a one-person play about womanhood across three generations of, eating, grief, and control. Told through an interwoven stories of three women across one family: Ellie, a high-school swimmer groomed into an eating disorder by a well-meaning, yet incredibly harmful coach; Katie, her pregnant aunt, who is trying to “do everything right” for her baby inside of wellness culture and medical fatphobia; and Susan, Katie’s mother, newly widowed and learning how to live with grief and appetite in an empty house. ... [T]he piece moves between sharp, funny, conversational monologues and scenes and more heightened, poetic sequences..."
