There are bad parents, and then there’s John and Helen, the parents at the center of Baby with the Bathwater. John and Helen aren't intentionally abusive of their child; they are just clueless about even the most basic things about parenting. Like that it isn't a good idea to give your baby Nyquil. Or that you shouldn’t wake your baby by yelling, "WAKE UP!" Step back into the 70's and 80's in this absurdist comedy with a true depth of heart.
Director Warren Sherrill has cast Micayla Smith (Helen), Trenton Schindele (John), Kimberlee Nanda (Nanny/Kate/Principal), Kenzie Kilroy (Cynthia/Angela/Miss Pringle/Susan) and Daniel Traylor (Daisy).
