For better, and (occasionally) for worse, Coda Project’s production of The Play About The Baby is most definitely theatre of the intelligent variety. Firstly, they’ve chosen an incredibly clever script. It’s no surprise that Baby’s creator, Edward Albee, is sometimes referred to as the “best living American playwright”. True or not, there’s... more ›

Coda Theater Project is quietly becoming a presence on the Austin theatre scene -- producing a gaggle of shows, and, most recently, becoming the resident producing company at play! Theatre. Their latest, Edward Albee's Play About the Baby, is about Girl and Boy, and the baby they may or may not have.
