What unfolds is <em>The Most Massive Woman Wins<\/em>, the next production by the Festival Playhouse at Kalamazoo College.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a play that confronts body image, misogyny and the personal costs of trying to fit into a society obsessed with women\u2019s appearances. Written by Madeleine George and directed by Milan Levy \u201923, the show will run at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, February 26 to Saturday, February 28, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, March 1. Tickets are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/festivalplayhouse.ludus.com\/index.php\">festivalplayhouse.ludus.com<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since graduating from K, Levy has built a directing r\u00e9sum\u00e9 that includes codirecting <em>Smart People<\/em> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faceofftheatre.com\/\">Face Off Theatre Company<\/a>, Kalamazoo\u2019s Black-owned theatre company, in fall 2024. When Professor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/academic\/programs\/theatre\/\">Theatre<\/a> Arts Lanny Potts reached out about the opportunity to direct at Levy\u2019s alma mater, they immediately said yes. For Levy\u2014who also serves the College as a program coordinator in the Office of Student Activities\u2014this show is deeply personal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing someone who grew up a plus size woman, I saw so much of myself and the insecurities I\u2019ve held, spoken through the words of these women,\u201d Levy said. \u201cI wanted to explore this play for myself, and everyone who would connect to this story.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Four actors from &quot;The Most Massive Woman Wins&quot; huddle during a rehearsal\" class=\"wp-image-26329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2026\/02\/8C9A3299-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Victoria (Gracie) Burnham &#8217;27 (from left), Shay Kruse &#8217;28, Helen Stoy &#8217;26 and Sofia Gross &#8217;29 are among the student actors in &#8220;The Most Massive Woman Wins&#8221; slated for February 26\u2013March 1 at  the Festival Playhouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The play unfolds as a series of monologues and scenes that move between the clinic\u2019s waiting room and the women\u2019s memories of schoolyards, workplaces and relationships. Each character has arrived at the same door, having traveled a completely different path to reach it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liliana Stout \u201926 plays Sabine, a Ph.D. student and committed feminist who wrestles with an internal conflict between her politics and her desire for intimacy, driving much of the play\u2019s emotional tension. Stout describes the character as deeply angry and in constant dialogue with herself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe can\u2019t overcome the loneliness, and she has to find a way to balance being the deeply moral, feminist person that she is while wanting the love that she hasn\u2019t found,\u201d Stout said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two casts will perform in the production, with Stout being the only actor to take the stage each night. Stout noted that the ensemble spans the full range of K class years, from a first-year student to seniors, and at least one cast member is performing on stage for the first time. The other actors include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gracie Burnham \u201927 and Emily Reese \u201927 who portray Rennie, a teenager consumed by an eating disorder, trying to gain the love and acceptance of her mother. \u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sofia Gross \u201929 and Shay Kruse \u201928 who play Carly, a loving mother who believes her hard work will ensure her daughter doesn\u2019t end up the way her and her mother did. What happens when this belief is challenged?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Helen Stoy \u201926 and Zoee Perez \u201926 who act as Cel, a woman who struggles with self-harm and needs the help of others to keep her grounded.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The play is set in the 1990s, but both Levy and Stout say its concerns feel urgently modern, as medications promising rapid weight loss dominate public conversation and the media continues to project narrow definitions of beauty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re returning to the 90s in a way,\u201d Levy said. \u201cPeople are now using Ozempic and GLP-1s to lose weight. It\u2019s all about looking skinny but that doesn\u2019t equate to healthy. Expecting us all to have the&nbsp;same body or work towards it,&nbsp;is putting an impossible standard.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Stout, the play is an invitation to empathy rather than judgment. She hopes audiences leave with a more generous understanding of why people arrive at decisions around changing their bodies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easy to stop and judge someone for doing something like plastic surgery or liposuction and say they\u2019re lazy, or taking the easy way out, or that they just don\u2019t love themselves,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope watching the show encourages people to take a moment to pause and instead find a way to understand what they\u2019re going through and show them love instead.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levy wants audiences, especially those who have felt the pressures these characters embody, to feel seen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I want this show to give voice to the things people never felt they could share or say out loud,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a waiting room at a liposuction clinic, four women sit with their thoughts and personal histories.
