Kathy Lipski is a woman on a mission: To make the perfect man. Though this mission isn’t realized until the third scene, Kathy also engages in the battle of the bulge. As Kathy tries every conceivable method to lose weight for her bridezilla sister, Susan’s wedding, Kathy’s weight loss efforts go unnoticed by her work-a-holic, computer nerd husband Harold. Trying to salvage their marriage with counseling and“emotion matts” adds to the hilarity of the play. As Kathy relents to a subliminal weight loss method, the nagging phone calls from her sisters and mother to lose the weight, distract Kathy to put Harold on the road to better health. Harold’s new “ Fat-free” lifestyle causes more marital issues and disappointment between Kathy and her relatives. In the third scene, Kathy has a revelation and embarks on her mission of making the perfect man. Kathy’s mother and sisters pay prices for wanting Kathy’s new method of making the perfect man. The method backfires for one frustrated character and turns her into a murderess. In the end, the women realize they have turned their perfect man into the characters their counterparts initially started out with.
