Let’s be honest, in our society weight loss sells. Actually, it more than sells – it’s become its own industry. It’s almost every person’s goal to ‘drop a few’ and those who manage to do more than that – drop an entire other person – are acclaimed as heroes. You know, cause they’re so much stronger and more dedicated than the rest of us!

But for every hero, there’s a nemesis. Every Batman has a Joker. Every Taylor has a Kanye. There’s a dedicated group rising up to declare their unrest with society’s push on the ‘perfect’ body. The Body Positive movement. In and of itself, not a terrible manifesto, but it can possess its own evil.

afterfat is a relatable, one-woman show that follows the life of one girl: her struggle through a culture that encouraged gluttony, through a religion that told her who she was, through finding her identity in her weight and who found belonging in a community of like-bodied people. And then…she decided to risk it all and shape herself.
Written and performed by Carlye Windsor, a former graduate of U of A’s Augustana Faculty Drama program, and known most-notably for her role in Northern Light Theatre’s production of Fat Pig.
afterfat is Carlye’s first attempt at writing her own story; with dramaturgy by Sterling-award winner Jessica Peverett, stage management by Michelle Durocher, and directed by Sarah Van Tassel. The endearingly sassy Carlye Windsor will have you laughing, crying, and feeling all the feels.
