Cry It Out

Custom Made Theatre
533 Sutter St San Francisco

Starring three Bay Area favorites - Martha Brigham, Lauren English and Lauren Spencer - Just Theatre, in association with Custom Made Theatre Co, presents Cry it Out. The hit of the 2017 Humana Festival, Cry it Out is a hilarious, provocative, honest look at parenthood, class and the impossibility of "having it all."A comedy with dark edges, Cry it Out takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work, and the effect class has on parenthood in America. Four months ago, Jessie was a corporate lawyer with a glamorous Manhattan life. Today, she's in dirty yoga pants, trying to comfort a screaming newborn and is desperate to talk to anyone besides the Food Network. So when she spies a fellow new mom and neighbor, Lina, at the local Stop & Shop, she vaults over the cantaloupe to introduce herself, and a fast friendship is born. But their intimacy is punctured by a new, upper-class mom who is having "a hard time," in their coffee klatch. Reluctantly, the duo tries to become a trio, but with very mixed-and surprising-results.
