Fat Girls in Bike Shorts
What a Performance!
After an initial widespread cringe at the show title, the
community surrounding Hopetoun and Ravensthorpe scurried to purchase tickets to
RRAC's second comedy presentation for 2018! With all the glitter and glam that
a girl could provide "Fat Girls in Bike Shorts" Rosie Sitorus and
Kellee Aberg gave Hopetoun the spangled performance they were expecting!
Eager for comedy and company, approximately 30 Ravensthorpe
patrons travelled down on the Lotterywest funded bus to partake in a community
soiree come stage performance that was "Fat Girls in Bike Shorts". Hopetoun
audience members were delighted to have more friends join the party of over 100
people, and all were impressed with the star of the soiree, a glittering pyramid-stack
of chicken nuggets!
The show tackled important issues such as what to do when you are
cheated of one chicken nugget when going through the “drive thru” and the solution
to sweaty summer cavorts – bike shorts of course! But on a more serious note,
the show resonated the real struggle women face on body image topics. Not many
of us are perfect and the girls were there to reinforce the message that we are
all beautiful, smart and sassy no matter the shape.
As an audience member, the show was relatable, it was obviously
written from the heart and from real life experiences. You appreciated the
honesty behind the ridiculous songs and gave credit to the boldness of the
"Girls" on stage in very small sparkly costumes! There was no ego in
the performance, they were real life characters making light of a sometimes-harsh
world and inviting us to laugh not at them, but with them.
The Hopetoun performace was the last for "Fat Girls in Bike
Shorts" and they celebrated by bestowing us with an Honorary member! During the
post-show soiree, the casual encore of music and singing went on, a real treat
which set a great mood. Catering by the Hopetoun Primary School P&C was faultless,
a classy spread of the most delicious delicacies.
Some say “Fat Girls in Bike Shorts” was the best RRAC show they
have ever been to, but we will let you make up your own mind. Hopetoun needed a
good laugh, thank you "Fat Girls in Bike Shorts", Euphorium
production team and the Hopetoun and Ravensthorpe community.
