> If you could get your significant other to change one thing
> about themselves, what would it be? A new hairstyle? Better
> clothes? Lose a little weight? Neil LaBute’s
> controversial play The Shape of Things is the first in a
> trilogy that includes Fat Pig and Reasons to be
> Pretty. Set in a small Midwestern college town, this play
> centers around the lives of four students who become
> romantically and sexually involved with one another.  When
> insecure, gentle Adam meets hip, sexy graduate art student
> Evelyn, he starts making major changes to his physical
> appearance, circle of friends, and standards of morality.
>  
>  
> LaBute’s darkly funny reverse Pygmalion myth examines the
> point at which love and sex become manipulation, at which
> creativity becomes destruction, and at which contemporary
> gender roles become a front for waging war.  The
> jaw-dropping conclusion of The Shape of Things is sure to
> leave audiences talking.  
>  
> *This show contains adult themes and adult language.*
>  
> Starring: Rhiannon Antico, Ian LaChance, Laura Murphy, and
> Tom Templeton.
