Back-seat parenting

It’s the conversation you never want to have. The Baby Monitor is about a seemingly well-intentioned couple that take one incident and leap to a potentially unfair conclusion in which they question whether their toddler cousin is being raised in an appropriate home.

The play centers on the issue of same-sex parenting and the ways race and class form traditional family values in America. Playwright David Stallings is part of the cast; he plays Damon, one of the same-sex couple whose parenting is being critiqued. Laura Gómez, who played Blanca Flores in the Netflix adaptation of Orange is the New Black, stars as Soledad, a nanny who sees nuance in the issues raised in the play. The play is directed by Colin Hovde.
