Marsha Stephanie Blake will play Katey and Eden Malyn will play Britney in Stuffed, Lisa Lampanelli's new comedy set to run at off-Broadway's Westside Theatre. Jackson Gay directs the work, also starring Lampanelli as Lisa and Nikki Blonsky as Marty, which begins previews on October 5 and opens on October 19.
"I am beyond thrilled to have these amazing and talented women joining Stuffed," said Lampanelli. "It is so important to me to show how complicated relationships with food and body image impact all kinds of people, and I am honored to have Marsha Stephanie and Eden alongside me and Nikki to share the humor and the heartbreak in these stories."
The four characters in Stuffed are a lifelong dieter, a bulimic, a confident overweight gal and a permanent size-zero. The play features Lampanelli’s famously irreverent voice, signature wit, and an extra-large scoop of razor-sharp insight into the crazy-making world of our relationships with food. Stuffed first debuted at the McGinn-Cazale Theatre in October 2016.
Marsha Stephanie Blake was most recently seen onstage as Emilia in Othello at New York Theatre Workshop. She has appeared on Broadway in The Merchant of Venice and Joe Turner's Come and Gone. Additional off-Broadway credits include An Octoroon and Marie Antoinette at Soho Rep, Luck of the Irish at LCT3 and Hurt Village at Signature Theatre Company.
Eden Malyn’s stage credits include Bad Jews (The English Theatre Frankfurt), Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike (Portland Center Stage), Behind Closed Doors (Theatre 80 St. Marks), Erasing Eight (Detroit Repertory Theatre), The Cherry Orchard (Oasis Theatre Company), High Ceilings (The Hayworth Theatre) and Desperate Writers (The Edgemar Center for the Arts).
