My Body is My Home

My Body is My Home is a solo performance full of humor, heartache, and raw emotion that comes with exploring self-discovery, love, and taking chances. This show will have you wondering what's next. From schoolyard taunts to a tumultuous romance gone wrong, self-worth is continually challenged. Struggling with low self-esteem and societal expectations, she embarks on a path marked by unhealthy coping mechanisms and weight battles.

A transformative moment in a bathroom stall propels her into a cycle of weight loss and relentless self-improvement, but admiration from others only deepens her inner conflict. As she navigates single motherhood, demanding jobs, and a new environment, Karen confronts her self-doubt and the pressures to conform. An unexpected loss unlocks a positive turn as she learns to appreciate fitness for its joy rather than as punishment. Through resilience and self-discovery, she reclaims her identity, Karen’s raw storytelling is a testament to the power of forgiveness, hope, and the enduring quest for self-love. "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll relate, and you'll leave the theatre feeling like you can do anything"
