Description

 Bruka’s 32nd season opens with THE BABY "The Bizarre 70’s Cult Horror/Comedy, Live On Stage!"  The Baby is written by Dan Spurgeon based on the screenplay of The Baby by Abe Polsky and directed by Michael Grimm.  The Baby follows social worker Ann Gentry as she finds herself with a very unusual case: the Wadsworth family, whose youngest member, Baby, is an adult man who sleeps in a crib and acts like an infant. Is Ann on the case to help the disabled Baby escape his abusive mother and sisters, or is her interest in him more...special? Part bizarre love story, part twisted fairy tale, part mystery thriller and all outrageous and offensive, the 70s cult film comes to the stage with a story so strange and shocking, you won't believe it's happening right in front of you! 

The Baby was originally produced by The Visceral Company and had its world premiere on June 12, 2013 as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. “A satiric production of the 1973 film, a demented, often campy, psychological thriller, with elements of macabre horror.” - Bonnie Priever, Tolucan Times. Andrew Moore from Mad Theatrics calls it “A loving farce of an obscure and obscene film”. The Baby opens Brüka’s 32nd  season on Friday, October 4, 2024 followed by an opening night champagne & appetizer reception..  

EXPLICIT THEATRE WARNING - Due to language, drug references, other adult themes, and overall perversity, The Baby is not appropriate for children or uptight squares, man!
