About the Play
The Baby Dance follows two couples who meet when a wealthy Los Angeles family seeks to adopt the child of a working-class couple from Louisiana. What begins as a hopeful path toward building a family quickly becomes a heartbreaking and deeply human examination of love, desperation, privilege, and the impossible choices people make when everything is on the line.
"This production feels especially relevant today, as we examine class, privilege, and what it truly means to be a family," said Xavier Daniels, Director
