AUGUST — The Holocaust and Human Rights Center will host Big Mouth Thunder Thighs, a solo play about body and food, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 3, at the Michael Klahr Center, University of Maine Augusta, 46 University Drive.

This one-woman play intertwines memoir storytelling with a highly theatrical, unpredictable, and outrageously entertaining variety show featuring roller skating, stand-up comedy, country-western singing, flamenco dancing, a Shakespearean monologue, a Broadway-style song-and-dance number, an Inuit folktale, an original spoken word-style poem, and a series of five heart-stopping “Death-Defying Acts.”

It’s an extravaganza about hunger, appetite, largeness, enoughness, loneliness, aloneness, and what it takes for us to accept ourselves. It’s deeply personal and surprisingly funny.

This event is free and open to the public. For reservations, call 207-621-3532. For more information, visit BigMouthThunderThighs.com.
