Living With Food: The Science Supporting Eating Disorder Treatment

The Cleveland Center for Eating Disorders is very excited to be sponsoring the Fairmont Center for the Arts play, EAT (It’s Not About Food). As we discussed in our post about the media, there are efforts going on that attempt to provide better understanding about eating disorders and their consequences. In the play, EAT (It’s Not About Food), CCED hopes that a much broader audience than those who are currently or previously involved with eating disorder treatment will have the opportunity to learn more about eating disorders. The play focuses on what eating disorders are, what it is like to experience them, and the variety of problems that can be experienced when one has an eating disorder. From this play we gain a sense of hope for those who suffer from these illnesses. 

The play EAT was written by Linda Daugherty, a Dallas playwright who became interested in this field. It was first preformed first in Dallas last year to very positive reviews. By bringing the play to Cleveland, the Fairmont Center for the Arts is providing a tremendous service to our community. Please plan to join us to see this very special production, which will run from April 15- May 2nd at the Mayfield Village Civic Center. CCED will have an educational program following each performance and will be available to answer any questions you may have. For reservations please call: (440) 782-4087.
