Salida Theater: Baby with the Bath Water

Salida Theater: Baby with the Bath Water

A Church

Baby with the Bathwater is a dark comedy about two completely unprepared parents doing their best—and getting it all wrong. With sharp humor and unexpected turns, the play explores identity, denial, and what happens when good intentions aren’t nearly enough. Both funny and unsettling, it’s a wildly offbeat look at parenting, growing up, and trying to make sense of a world that rarely does.

The ReMemberers

A Church

A Schoolhouse Production The ReMemberers is a genre-blurring trio that merges ancient folklore, global singing traditions, and instrumental virtuosity into a vivid, transportive concert experience. Their latest performance, The Lindworm, reimagines a Scandinavian wisdom tale of transformation, exile, and renewal—brought to life through rhythm, melody, and mythology. Featuring the world renowned storyteller John DeKadt (acolyte of the great Robert Bly) an evening with the ReMemberers offers up some of the most profound and enduring customs of being human: a story, a song, a heartbeat. Each member offers a distinctive sonic ingredient to the feast: Alex Harvey plays sax, shakuhachi, koncovka, mandolin, bouzouki and 12-string Violet Southard sings and intones in English, Spanish, and Lakota John DeKadt spins story and plays cajón, conga, kanjira, handpan, and frame drum Together, they conjure a soundscape that moves fluidly from Sufi maqams to Appalachian laments to peyote chants to Leonard Cohen. The music, like the myth, is both rooted and untamed—woven in a shape that grows wild and quiet all at once.
