Baby (in LA)

Rachel Troy’s BABY recently won Best World Premiere and Top of The Fringe (Best Overall) and was nominated for Best Comedy and Adalaide Fringe Exchange Award at this year’s annual Hollywood Fringe Festival. BABY is also a winner of the International Fringe Encore Series presented by the Soho Playhouse, which means she is a finalist for an off-broadway run New York City.

This clown tragicomedy will resonate with you if: You were once a baby, still believe you are a baby, have a baby inside of you right now screaming, have ever been or desire to be in a romantic relationship, have ever been or desire to be in therapy, have parents, have a desire to be a parent, have a complicated relationship with your mother, have a complicated relationship with your lover, have an interest in attachment theory, have zero interest or understanding of attachment theory.

Rachel Troy will take you on an absurd psychological carousel with comedic and theatrical surprises at every turn and fun audience engagement. This show is about our natural human tendency to blend relationships, turning our partners into parents as we regress into full “baby-mode.” Though Rachel is a clown, she also uses her identity as a therapist (for real, she’s a therapist!) to explore her role as “fake mother” helping adults heal their wounded inner child.

This show is all at once stupid but complex, funny but tragic, poetic but deranged…

Content Warning: presentation of toxic relationship behaviors, brief nudity, mommy issues, generational trauma, and mention of The Holocaust.
