Babies Having Babies

It should 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

It presents 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 - strong, winning parts in a strong, important, entertaining play

A challenge for all high schools who want honest, up front, high quality material

Babies Having Babies has won Four Daytime Emmys, including
