The University of Delaware's Resident Ensemble Players is thrilled to present a new cutting-edge comedy written by the exceptionally talented writer/director, Theresa Rebeck.

Theresa Rebeck is a familiar name to theatregoers from her work on Broadway (Mauritius, Dead Accounts, Bernhardt Hamlet, Seminar), off-Broadway (The Understudy, Downstairs, Seared), and as creator of NBC’s hit series SMASH. YEAH BABY is the fourth premiere of Rebeck’s at the REP, following O Beautiful, Fever, and a new version of The Bells.

“I’m thrilled to have been asked to do it,” said Rebeck. “I think the REP is astonishing. The company is so gifted – individually they are all wonderful actors, and they are all incredible comedians. As a unit, they are beyond reckoning. It’s an astonishing opportunity for me to be able to walk into a unit like that.”

YEAH BABY follows the absurdly careening day in the life of professional theatre artists. Stealing a page from Chekov and Pirandello, the REP company presents its own love letter to the theater and the courage it takes to make something out of nothing, during perplexing times. Hilarity arises in the struggle to confront the improbable as well as the impossible.

YEAH BABY will run from Apr. 21 through May 8, at the Roselle Center for the Arts. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, online at www.rep.udel.edu, or by phone at (302) 831-2204. Discounts available for students and UD faculty/staff.
