Babe at Atwater Village Theatre

Babe

Atwater Village Theatre
3269 Casitas Ave Atwater Village

Abby has been discovering new talent since the '90s, when she became the right hand to A&R ("Artists & Repertoire") legend Gus. Together, they signed big bands, loved, fought and lived hard. It was the best kind of work marriage-at least that's how Abby sees it. That is until Gen Z Kaitlin shows up, hell bent on showing these old rockers it's 2022, and there's a new generation hell-bent on changing the world. Evolve or die. Who goes down?

"...Cliffhangers are perfectly fine if you're writing a series pilot or season finale. Not so much if you've written what purports to be a full-length play, which is why, engaged as I was throughout Echo Theater Company's Babe, I left feeling frustrated, angry, and confused as to why playwright Jessica Goldberg didn't finish what she'd started so provocatively sixty-five minutes earlier in a more satisfyingly conclusive way."

"...It's a polemic! Certainly, a call to arms for women to rise up and by any means necessary, find a way to carve a proper seat at the table where good old boy stories are no longer a thing and the power of women rising to become peers may emerge."

"...One of the strengths of the script is how well Goldberg has rounded out her characters; an obnoxious Gus cares about Abby, determined to make himself available when she needs help. Kaitlin is genuinely admiring of the older woman but, when the time comes, quick to critique and act ruthlessly upon that critique. Grounded and self-possessed in her professional life, Abby quietly mourns her empty nest, never inhabited to begin with."

"...Echo’s founding artistic director Chris Fields directs with a steady hand; there’s not an ounce of fat or a false move. The creative crew has done a stellar job creating seamlessly shifting environments, through clever backdrops, lighting and sound. Kudos to scenic designer Amanda Knehans, lighting designer Hayden Kirschbaum and sound designer Alysha Grace Bermudez. The pitch-perfect quick-change costumes are by Elena Flores."
