InterAct commissioned the play through its 20/20 New Play Commission program. Artistic director Seth Rozin stages the production, which features Cathy Simpson, Frank X, Kaci M. Fannin, Ames Adamson and Katrina Yvette Cooper. According to InterAct notes, "Showing how faith and culture collide when family values are at stake, Little Lamb tells the story of Cathy, an adoption agent who is forced to choose between her progressive values, her African-American heritage and her devout Christian beliefs, when her placement of a black baby girl with a white/Latino mixed-race gay couple is unexpectedly called into question by the child's birthmother."
