Someone Else's Baby is a theatrical adaptation of Diane Martin's novel bearing the same name. This stage production starkly unveils the decline of humanity and exposes a community whose silence has proven deadlier to children than bullets. It is a distressing and deeply affecting chronicle of tragedy and fear. Our protagonist, Tijani Khalan Owens (TKO), a young African American, strives to survive the "war" that has engulfed the streets of Chicago. He embodies the experience of countless children who live each day in fear, within the very community they call home. Tijani is determined not to become a mere statistic or another victim, but fate places him in a situation where he discovers that choices, whether good or bad, carry grave consequences. Ultimately, lives will be forever altered, compelling us to introspect and confront a growing issue that plagues us all.
