A show NOT to take your date to on Valentine's DaySalem Repertory Theatre debuts it's new play, Neil Labute's "Fat Pig" on Valentine's Day. But if your date is sensitive, it might be a good idea to wait until February 15. Lebute specializes in illuminating the miserable side of human nature, so audiences can be assured that this love story between a man and a fat woman will be a painful and controversial affair. The cause of that pain, the many sources it can emanate from, is the focus of the play. Call (503) 302-8907 for more information.
Calling all kids!
