Cry-Baby
1950s Baltimore, the conservative squares face off against the leather-clad delinquents in this rockabilly musical based on John Waters' cult film. Based on the cult classic, 1990 John Waters film, Cry-Baby features a delightfully demented book from the writers of Hairspray and a rockabilly score from the co-founder of Fountains of Wayne and the executive producer of "The Daily Show."

Our Mission
Renegade Theater Co. creates opportunities for creatives to explore performing arts in new and exciting ways. Renegade values the process of creating theater collaboratively rather than focusing solely on the product and it prioritizes inclusivity and representation of diversity. Renegade strives for quality artistic expression without sacrificing the mental health of our cast, crew and staff.
We create profound theatrical experiences that allow those involved to grow and learn, and to contribute towards creating a strong and supportive community, both within the company itself and as a part of the greater society that we live in. We believe that art should enhance and enrich the community as a whole by pushing us to think in new ways, and to step outside our comfort zone.
