The Show:
In 1986 at the age of 15, Chad Goller-Sojourner became the first male in the country insured by Blue Cross/Blue Shield to enter an eating disorder rehab. At times funny, biting and somber Sitting in Circles with Rich White Girls: Memoir of a Bulimic Black Boy is the groundbreaking and crushingly honest reclamation story of a fat, gay, bulimic, black boy with white parents and co-occurring mental illnesses. Struggling to find beauty, acceptance, and safe spaces  in a world short on all.

With playful humor and sharp observance Sitting in Circles takes audiences on an intense and insightful journey, along the way unpacking the motherlode of competing and conflicting identities and the thin line between self-help and self-harm.

Whether retracing the heartbreak and hilarity of wanting to be so beautiful he could show up at parties empty-handed because his beauty is gift enough to collecting and hiding scales the way most sixteen-year-old boys collected and hid porn.

Goller-Sojourners greatest gift is the ability to find playfulness amid grief, ultimately demonstrating how even the most painful of experiences can be reclaimed, transformed, and accepted for what they are: the building blocks of our unique identities.


Chad Goller-Sojourner is a Seattle-based writer, solo-performer and recipient of a distinguished Washington State Arts Commission Performing Arts Fellowship. His work has been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

In 2018 he debuted his third solo show: Marching in Gucci: Memoir of a Well-Dressed Black AIDS Activist: Set in NYC during the height of the AIDS Crisis, Marching in Gucci: explores the paradoxical and precarious relationship between engaging in AIDS Activism while simultaneously engaging in self-harming behaviors.

In 2013 he debuted his sophomore solo show: Riding in Cars with Black People & Other Newly Dangerous Acts: A Memoir in Vanishing Whiteness. The story of what happens when a black boy, raised by white parents, ages out of honorary white and suburban privilege and into a world where folklore, statistics, and conjecture deem him dangerous until proven otherwise.

His inaugural solo show, Sitting in Circles with Rich White Girls: Memoir of a Bulimic Black Boy, debuted July 2008, and chronicles the performers life-long affair with the scale and ten-plus year liaison with an eating disorder.
