Who knows what’s best for a baby: parents, religion, the system?
UTC Theatre Company’s production of “Luna Gale” explores this question and others in a six-performance run next week that kicks off the spring semester of the 2016-17 season.
This edgy and compelling play from Rebecca Gilman tells the story of Caroline, a hard-pressed social worker in Iowa, who is given the task of supervising a case in which a 6-month-old baby has been hospitalized. The baby’s name gives the play its title. Parents Karlie and Peter are teenage meth addicts who are struggling to raise their child.
