BEING A NEW PARENT IS A REAL $H*T SHOW
Anxious parents, a toddler on the loose and one weekend that can make or break their marriage.
*Equity Approved Showcase
PANIC IN THE BATHROOM is a fast and funny pop-rock musical comedy about two exhausted new parents --- a perfectionist mom and an OCD dad who are trying to survive hosting their daughter’s 2nd birthday party.
· Relatable story for anyone who’s ever said to themselves: “I love my kids but I can’t wait to get rid of them.”
· Perfect night out for parents who need a break from their rug rats and can bribe their in-laws to babysit as well as for anyone else who’s not a kid (recommended for ages 18+)
· Performed by real parents who are married to each other and are counselors (don’t worry, there’s no co-pay)
