Performance Dates: August 15 - 17

A delivery room nurse helps a new mother find her footing as she learns to care for her newborn baby. A few months later she returns to work at Johnson & Johnson — America’s most trusted brand — and the maker of the talc powder she lovingly uses on her own little girl. But can she trust it? Best for Baby portrays corporate personhood with in-your-face theatrical absurdity and blistering wit, unflinchingly examining the cost of valuing profits over people.
