BABY The Musical

BABY The Musical presented by The Wellesley Players

Is there anything more exciting, frightening and utterly
transformational than impending parenthood? BABY examines how parents-to-be experience the emotional stresses and triumphs, as well as the desperate lows and the comic highs, that accompany the anticipation and arrival of a baby.

BABY, nominated for 7 TONY awards, 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.

November 2-4 and 9-11, 2012, Friday & Saturday at 8pm; Sunday at 2pm. Arsenal Center for the Arts, Black Box Theatre. $25; $22 student/seniors
