Serial Edinburgh Fringe Festival First Award winners and current SoHo Playhouse artists in residence Xhloe and Natasha, having won last winter's SoHo Playhouse International Fringe Encore Theater Series Overall Excellence Award for A Letter to Lyndon B. Johnson or God: Whoever Reads This First (read our review here ), return to the SoHo's stage as the year draws to a close with What If They Ate The Baby?
