When Tom begins dating Helen, a confident plus-sized woman, he succumbs to the taunts and judgment of his peers. In Helen, we finally see an operatic character, written specifically for a fat performer, telling of an experience that is all too common.
Starring Tracy Cox (Helen), Troy Cook (Tom), Sarah Wolfson (Jeannie) and Will Ferguson (Carter)
