Contact: Rene Abadie
Date: April 11, 2013
HAMMOND – The spring theatre season at Southeastern Louisiana University continues with "Baby
with the Bathwater" at the university's Vonnie Borden Theatre on Tuesday, April 16,
at 7:30 p.m.
Instructor of Acting and Directing Chad Winters directs the dark comedy written
by Christopher Durang.
"This is our first Christopher Durang comedy," Winters said. "In this play he
manages to combine farce, satire, absurdism and good-humored wackiness. You can be
shocked and laughing out loud at the same time."
The play will run April 16-19. General admission tickets are $10; $6 for Southeastern
faculty and staff, seniors and non-Southeastern students; and Southeastern students
are admitted free with university I.D. Tickets are available at the Vonnie Borden
box office in D Vickers Hall, 985-549-2115.
"Baby with the Bathwater" tells the story of John and Helen, two young parents
trying to raise their child and keep their marriage together.
The main roles of Helen and John will be performed by Southeastern student Kayla
Hurst of Springfield and Owen Sullivan of Diamondhead, Miss. The roles of Angela/Miss
Pringle will be played by Janna Baza of Abita Springs; Harli Manuel of Gonzales, will
play the parts of Nanny/Kate/Principal; the role of Cynthia will be performed by Jessica
Baronich of Denham Springs; Dayton Wallace of Amite will play the Young Man; and Kristine
Hooter of Covington will play Susan. Southeastern and Alpha Psi Omega alumnus Mark
Bryan of Pensacola, Fla., will also perform in the play.
