Oh, Baby!

A A A Comments By Jenn Wohletz Thursday, Feb 2 2012

The dichotomy of rich people adopting poor people's babies makes for high drama, and while you can probably rent Stockard Channing's and Laura Dern's made-for-TV version of Jane Anderson's The Baby Dance, why not go see a live version of the play? "You can get right up close and have a much better emotional experience as a viewer," explains Silhouette Theatre founder and co-artistic director Paul Jaquith. "And the tickets are cheap, so it'll give you an excuse to go out with your friends later and talk about the issues in the play." And there's plenty to discuss, since the play deals less with diapers than it does with controversial social issues involving class, money, racism and societal mores in the modern South.
