Operation Shrink

Written, Directed and Performed by Ella McGran

“…a powerful, honest, and beautifully performed piece. McGran’s story is one of hope and resilience. When we identify, name and confront our demons, we create the possibility for transformation” - Joshua Sofaer.

"This show is in a class on its own: intellectually rigorous, unendingly generous, concise, emotional, and urgent. Operation Shrink is not only a powerful story about disordered eating and the specifics of the disease faced by so many young people, but also about the greater societal troubles regarding self-image and peer pressure which impact all of us. I highly recommend this tremendous and important work." - Brian Lobel

Welcome to Operation Shrink: secrets, snacks and sabotage.

An autobiographical solo show addressing themes of disordered eating, mental illness and perfectionism. Operation Shrink holds a magnifying glass up to my brain and helps you to unravel all of the secrets that might be hiding away up there. Together we will gossip, play, dance, exercise profusely, and critically reflect on our time together.
