John premiered his multimedia theater performance at Chicago's world-famous Second City Theater. "FATTY" was conceived, written and scored by Fournier and told the story of the infamous trial and scandalous downfall of silent screen legend Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. This one-of-a-kind performance piece skillfully blended Fournier's flair for the dramatic with an original song cycle and a multimedia montage of rare 1920's film footage, stills and slides. "FATTY" is presently being developed with award winning Director Shade Murray into a large-scale musical theater work by the Second City Theater and will be premiered in the fall of 2003. When asked about the collaboration with Fournier, Second City producer Kelly Leonard commented, "Fournier is a true original: a musician, storyteller and theater artist - funny, smart and sublime."
