Too Fat for China: A Comic Look at the Agony of Adoption
Sunday, November 9 | 4:00-6:00pm
RSVP Here!

Congregation Neveh Shalom is excited to present Too Fat for China: A Comic Look at the Agony of Adoption. This hilarious live performance by comic storyteller and professional Jew, Phoebe Potts, follows her as she tries, fails, and eventually succeeds to adopt a baby:

After a U.S. adoption goes horribly wrong, Potts finds herself surprised, disgusted, and ultimately resigned to the role she plays as a middle class white lady in the business of adopting babies in the US and internationally.

Potts' tragicomic journey is about looking for more: more love, more life, more family, and she will do anything to get it, including having her morals and values fold in on themselves.

View the trailer here.

This performance is suitable for ages 13+
