Baby with the Bathwater

“Every parent needs a mood-booster once in awhile, and for the dad in “Baby with the Bathwater” that means a stiff shot of vodka — from a flask stashed away in a baby’s toy.”

-The San Diego Union-Tribune

This satirical comedy explores the impossible journey of parenting, the delicacy of children, and the unpredictability of the world we live in. The Department of Theatre is thrilled to welcome New York City guest director and alum David Alpert to campus to lead this production.
