Joni Hilton

1 hour comedy
1-6 women, or up to any number of women

This show is as funny as its title! In a flexible format that accommodates any number of women, the characters take you on a comic romp through the trials and tribulations of womanhood including weight, dieting, and looking good. The show is full of character, charm, and humor. You can even create sinful concoctions on stage with audience members. Best of all, the show celebrates women’s self-acceptance

and a reminder of the things that really matter.

A script for all women and anyone who has ever loved one. A hysterical and truthful view of what we fear most and question most often. We laughed all the way through our rehearsals and the audience howled! –Gina Bikales, Managing Director, Script2Stage2Screen

“Does This Show Make My Butt Look Fat?” was a bit on a phenomenon at our theatre. Our cast of 12 (all aged 55 and up) not only created a wonderful and hysterical production but they formed friendships that will last a lifetime. Of the 12, seven were doing their first show with our organization. Five of those seven were doing their first show EVER. The production is our most attended and most profitable second season show to date. Our audience laughed with delight at all four performances (and enjoyed the cookies afterwards). The production was so loved that we were asked to reunite and do it at the county fair’s senior program. Not only did this production entertain our audience, it brought together a group of theatre lovers who created a family. Thank you, ArtAge,  for providing us that opportunity.
–Trinity Bird, Executive Director, The Sauk
