Living a play in an unintentional way

Philadelphia Inquirer | 04/18/2010: When life began imitating art at Theatre Horizon, the scrappy professional stage company in Norristown, it took the company utterly by surprise.
Here they were, starting work on a play that audaciously examines the way people who are not overweight perceive people who are, and the way overweight people see themselves - and they ended up facing the same perceptions, for real. via ArtsJournal

I can see that this would be an interesting challenge to cast this. I can't believe that so many people refused to specify which part they were auditioning for, in a way unwilling to categorize themselves. As for the logo, I'm surprised there was such an outcry against it because I found it very tasteful. It showed that women of any size really can be attractive, and it's bad that society still refuses to accept this.
