Sperm Donor Wanted

by T.J. Young

After several attempts at having another child, wives Lisa and Bex turn to the internet for help. They find their help in a gay couple, Aaron and Charles. As we are pulled back through the events that got them to where they are, the lives of these four become more entwined and complicated than they had ever planned on. They lay their story bare, sharing their deepest fears about parenthood, the secret betrayals of their relationships, and say the things they never got to say. Theatre 4the People presented the World Premiere of Sperm Donor Wanted (or, The Unnamed Baby Play) by T.J. Young (2017 Harold and Mimi Steinberg Award Winner for No. 6; 2018 Harold and Mimi Steinberg Distinguished Achievement Award for Lyon’s Den), directed by Haley Rice at the Chain Theatre in April of 2024.

Sperm Donor Wanted (or, The Unnamed Baby Play) was a finalist for the 2023 L. Arnold Weissberger New Play Award.
