TOO FAT FOR CHINA: A Comic Look at the Agony of Adoption by PHOEBE POTTS
Gloucester Stage Company presents TOO FAT FOR CHINA, a world premiere one woman show written and performed by cartoonist and storyteller Phoebe Potts, November 23, 24, 30 and December 1 at Gloucester Stage, 267 E Main St., Gloucester.
This comedic theater performance (debuting on National Adoption Day, Nov. 23) is a sequel to Potts’ graphic memoir, Good Eggs (Harper, 2010), which charts her travails with infertility and the endless rounds of treatments and miscarriages she and her husband endured. Roz Chast, the New Yorker cartoonist, called Potts’ memoir “sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always honest, intelligent, and completely involving.”
In Too Fat for China, Potts picks up the narrative with her quest for an international adoption. The story has a happy ending, but it twists and turns through fraught questions about family and race— subjects that feel particularly pertinent in our current political climate. Potts tackles it all, as she does life, with humor and irreverence.

Breaking Election News:
An old timer comes down the dock this morning and i ask him if he voted yet.
He replies that he’s not voting and this guy is a guy that doesn’t go a half hour without talking politics.
I told him and this is for the record that if one of the candidates that we consider to be terrible gets elected by a one vote margin that I will never ever let him forget it.
So here it is, the reminder. You could get stuck with someone that you can’t stand as a candidate. if voter turnout is low and that person gets in by one vote and does things that you are diametrically opposed to, you have no one to blame but yourself.
8:32 Ralph DiGiorgio Voted
Update:
We convinced the old timer who wasn’t going to vote, to vote-

Come join Tong Ren practitionerCraig Holmes as he facilitates this hour long healing class.
Tong Ren is a powerful healing energy treatment used to help people restore their health. It is based on the principle that many diseases are caused by physical blockages that interrupt the body’s natural flow of “chi”, the subtle bioelectricity we need to maintain the health of every cell and organ in our body. Tong Ren seeks to release these blockages, restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. The Tong Ren energy healing is an effective method to working your overall health and wellbeing but has been very effective with people with Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes , Parkinson Disease and other serious illnesses. The primary goal of the healing system, remove the blockages which interferes with the proper functioning of the body.
Come Join our Tong Ren Healing class for general healing. This class…

Ponds and waterways are filling up with one of the smallest ducks found on our shores, the Buffleheads. A most striking of winter residents (and feisty, too), the male is sharply feathered in black and white, with iridescent purple and green head feathers. The Buffleheads will be here through the winter, with most departing in early spring.
The name Bufflehead is derived from the name Buffalo-head, and they are so named because of the male’s puffy-shaped head. Another common name for this diminutive diver is Butterball.
The male’s head feathers are shaded with a beautiful rainbow sheen, while the female is a much plainer sort.
