Dusty and the Big Bad World

The Christian right swoops down on a TV show that has afforded an 11-year-old girl the opportunity to appear on the program with her brother and two gay dads. Based on an actual incident, Dusty and the Big Bad World is a funny, no-holds-barred look at PBS, government bias, gay marriage, the right to privacy, children’s allergies and the ability to survive in a small-minded world. Cusi Cram is a member of LAByrinth Theater Company and a founding member of The Fulcrum Theater. The winner of many fellowships and grants, Cram’s works have been produced across the country. She has received three Emmy award nominations for her writing on the animated children’s program “Arthur.”
