Missy Hairston, who at different points in her life, could be described as a woman of majestic proportions, plays 30 characters in this solo comedy in which we follow her progress as she grows up in the South, migrates to New York where she finds remarkable success on the comedy club circuit, then pursues a career in Hollywood. Awkwardly Fabulous will resonate especially with women who have had to confront body issues and issues of esteem regarding their love and work lives (which is to say, lots of women). Plenty of men will identify with it too. Free tickets can be reserved through the Watson Box Office (508-286-3575 or [email protected]).
