Four generations of teen moms are the center of the new play "A Good Child Too Soon." It comes from Denver's SOURCE Theater Company and runs through June 3 at Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center.

The play is based on the 1991 book "Before Their Time" by Joelle Sanders. Told primarily through the eyes of Leticia, it explores a multi-generational African-American family in Harlem and how having children as teenagers shaped the women's lives and their relationships with each other.
