Is there anything more exciting, frightening, and utterly life-changing than impending parenthood?

Baby tells the story of three couples on a university campus as they deal with the painful, rewarding, and agonizingly funny consequences of this universal experience. There are the college students, barely at the beginning of their adult lives; the thirty-somethings, having trouble conceiving but determined to try; and the middle-aged parents, looking forward to seeing their last child graduate from college when a night of unexpected passion lands them back where they started.?

A smart, energetic show with loads of charm, Baby has a modern, up-to-date sensibility, with strong female characters, a hysterically insightful book by Sybille Pearson and a tuneful, contemporary score of show-stopping numbers by David Shire and Richard Maltby, Jr. (Starting Here, Starting Now, Closer Than Ever and Big, The Musical). Warm, intimate, and immensely likable, Baby is a perfect show for anyone who’s ever had a baby… or anyone who’s ever been one!

Reviews

"A double Tony-nominated product of the lifetime collaboration of musical composor David Shire and lyricist Richard Maltby Jr., this "Baby" gets just the TLC it needs from director Cary Libkin and a well-chosen equity cast. Everyone has a moment to shine—even the supporting cast. . . " --Michael Casper, Altoona Mirror [Read More]

"Many years of theatergoing have left me somewhat jaded and uneasy to impress. It's not often, therefore, that I get goose bumps from a performance. Yet at the end of Act 1, when Vanessa Reseland delivered her tour de force with a song called "The Story Goes On," I did." --Harry Zimbler, Centre Daily Times [Read More]
