Ann E. Wrecksick & The Odyssey of the Bulimic Orphans, "a delightful, heartfelt, song and dance journey that takes several orphans on a quest for love, acceptance and the perfect diet," will come to Ars Nova (511 W. 54th St.) for eight performances only from Monday, February 20 through Sunday, March 19th.

The orphans are faced with the irrefutable pressure to stay thin...after all, no one wants to adopt a fat kid! Join Ann E. and her friends on this delightful, heartfelt, song and dance journey through a world of debilitating eating disorders, acute cocaine addiction, overt lesbian pedophilia, and taxidermy too!," according to press notes.
