Little Footsteps

Ben and Joanie are an upwardly mobile "Yuppie" couple about to become parents for the first time. Ben (who is Jewish) works in television. Joanie (a quintessential WASP) is a would-be artist. As the play begins they are redecorating the dining room of their Manhattan apartment for use as a nursery, an activity which both underscores the impending changes in their lives and reinforces Ben’s uneasiness about it. A hilarious, and at the same time, thoughtfully cautionary examination of the promises – and perils – of impending parenthood.
