--AUDITION INFORMATION:
Auditioners should come prepared, with sheet music, to sing 16 bars of music, not necessarily from the show. An accompanist will be provided. There will be no a capella singing. 
In addition, auditioners may be reading from the script and, possibly, participating in a simple movement audition. Please wear comfortable clothing. 
--ABOUT THE SHOW:
Is there anything more exciting, frightening and utterly transformational 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.
***Here is a partial character breakdown with ages and vocal ranges:

*Danny Hooper (Male, Late teens-Mid 20s) (Tenor) – Young, idealistic musician. Wants to do the right thing in his new role as a father.
*Lizzie Fields (Female, Late teens-Mid 20s) (Mezzo) – Young, extremely independent student and, soon-to-be, new mom.
*Alan McNally (Male, Mid 40s-Early 50s) (Baritone) – College administrator, married to Arlene, with a new “surprise” on the way.
*Arlene McNally (Female, Mid 40s-Early 50s) (Mezzo) – Married to Alan. Experiencing “empty nest” until a new “surprise” changes everything.
