Ruby is a full figured Filipina who is only one semester away from graduating college when her overbearing and emotionally distant mother takes Ruby’s tuition money in order to fund Ruby’s stick-thin sister’s entrance in a beauty pageant. When Ruby finds out, she vows to enter the contest herself and win the money back, no matter the price. A beautiful play about self image and family of Greek proportions.
