Blair
Baker
By Karen Hartman
Directed by Jackson Gay
With Blair Baker, Lauren Molina, Timiki Salinas, Shayna Nicole Small, Beatrice Ethel Tulchin, Victoria Huston-Elem, and Nick Piacente
Max, a single lesbian, just gave birth. She’s unemployed, with a house that’s falling apart, an ex on the loose, and no clue how to nurse her newborn. Can Goldie, an Orthodox Jewish lactation consultant, guide Max into motherhood? Or will conflicting family values get the better of them both?
A surprising and deeply human comedy about motherhood, family, and doing what comes naturally.
