Moraine Valley holding auditions for ‘Baby with the Bathwater’

November 26, 2024

The Moraine Valley Community College Academic Theater Department is holding open auditions for the play “Baby with the Bathwater” on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 6 to 10 p.m., in the Fine and Performing Arts Center, 9000 W. College Parkway in Palos Hills.

Written by the provocative and inventive Tony Award-winning playwright Christopher Durang, this play is a satiric, black comedy about two new parents with a bizarre and unconventional approach to raising their baby. Ultimately, it is a farcical exploration of the challenges of both being and raising a child.

People of all ages, ethnicities, gender identities and backgrounds are encouraged to audition. Those auditioning should prepare a monologue in the style of the show, not to exceed one minute. While not preferred, cold readings will be provided, if needed. The show will run Feb. 28 to March 9 with rehearsals adjusted based on cast schedules.

Interested actors can sign up in advance in Building F, Room F150, or by contacting Dr. Craig Rosen at rosen@morainevalley.edu.
