Ep 2: Baby, Baby, Baby If the Valley Could Talk

    • Artes escénicas

Babies are born into the light. They leave the warm, dark and squishy nest just to be thrust into this thing called “life”. Some babies are welcomed into loving arms, while others are born into chaos and pain. Some babies have a beautiful beginning with their maternal life machines, while others struggle to connect.

Valerie, the apple of her mother’s eye, was born on the day of the Festival of Love. She was seen as the perfect summation for a passionate mother and a dedicated father. Meanwhile Opal was born on Halloween. She was seen as the consequential “oops” from a night of drunken bliss.
