Babies Having Babies

Synopsis

An award-winning teleplay on the subject of teen pregnancy, now for high-school theatre groups.

"It's a frank, sensitive, humorous script, always honest in its treatment of the topic and the young women facing the prospect of an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy.

One that will satisfy teen actresses by its honesty, its openness and appreciation of the pressures young women are expected to cope with, frequently on their own, with little or no guidance from elders, and with little understanding, compassion or thoughtfulness from their peers.

These are real people, each one with her own aspirations and plans for the future, a future which may or may not be dimmed by an unplanned pregnancy.

But these young women oppose fear and condemnation with a wary courage, search for the realization and the strength to face the future on their own terms."-- publisher Samuel French's website, accessed 2-12-15.
