Pitch

Logline Julie Halters inherits a Los Angeles based bathhouse and is forced to deal with her own sexist, racist and homophobic attitudes when faced with the sexist, racist and ageist attitudes of her own staff. Tagline “Everything ELSE you wanted to know about sex” An edgy, politically incorrect progeny of All in the Family, The Richard Pryor Show and Cheers, Bathhouse Betty Diaries follows the lives of an eclectic motley of characters that work in a Los Angeles-based bathhouse inherited by Julie Halters, a sheltered recent college graduate who when faced with the sexist, racist and ageist attitudes of her own staff, is forced to acknowledge her own sexist, racist and homophobic attitudes. This innovative adult comedy throws a humorous spotlight on America’s post-911 prejudices, frailties and inconsistencies by showing, in a mature fashion, how we are all bound by them and how absurd they are.
