Opinion: AU should be a leader in combating fatphobia in theater casting

I’d like to start off by saying that I’m tired. I’m tired of watching theater and seeing skinny, pretty girls play the leads all the time. Don’t get me wrong, they’re usually very talented, but there are more people in this world than just skinny girls. Theater is a reflection of the world and all who inhabit it. This isn’t a world solely inhabited by skinny people, so why are they constantly cast as the lead roles?
