Synopsis:  Young Don Baker, hero of his mother's children's book series, "Donny Dark" has been blind since birth, his overprotective mother following his every move. Don finally decides to take his own apartment in Manhattan and pursue his songwriting ambitions. When she meets his kooky neighbor, sexy actress Jill, Mrs. Baker's controlling instincts go into overdrive with hilariously touching results.

Characters (actors/actresses can be older, but must look character age): 
Don Baker - early 20's, wants to be self-reliant.  Feels suffocated by his over-protective mother. Has great optimistic outlook.  Funny, endearing personality. Ability to play guitar is a plus, but not required.
Jill Benson - 19 years old.  Flighty, doesn't know what she wants, open to everything.  Outgoing, funny, lives for the moment, afraid of commitment. 
Florence Baker - 40's-50's. Don's mother - controlling, overprotective.  Smart, successful writer of children's books.  Well-bred manner, very strong-willed.  Doesn't think Don is ready to be independent.
Ralph Austin - mid to late 20's. Director of an off-Broadway play. Tries to be avant-garde.  This character is in one scene.
