            "Fat Chance" - Willits Community
            Theater Production - Throughout April
 This comedy asks the question, "Are looks more important
            than personality?" The solitude of a famous female sculptress is blissfully
            interrupted when the car of a sexy drifter from Texas breaks down outside her house. Just
            when she needs a model. Join a lively cast of comic characters. If you liked last season's
            hit "Cooking with Gus" (by the same author), you'll love "Fat Chance"!
