Spread the Love: Body Body
This week on Spread the Love we talk about Body Body. We also have a competition length version of the play.
Body Body: Competition Length Version
Madeline's got body image trouble.
So much so that different body parts are starting to come to life! Her tummy, butt, and thighs (personified as characters in the play) want Madeline to stay insecure and dependent on the food they tempt her with.
But Madeline doesn't want to feel bad about her body anymore. Tonight's the night she starts fighting back!
Also available in a one-act version here.
