Rebecca Gilman’s THE CROWD YOU’RE IN WITH Closes at the 16th Street Theater, 8/13

16th Street Theater, a part of the North Berwyn Park District, is proud to present Rebecca Gilman's THE CROWD YOU'RE IN WITH directed by Anish Jethmalani at the Berwyn Cultural Center, 6420 16th Street, Berwyn.  The production will close on August 13, 2011.

To breed or not to breed? During a backyard barbecue on the 4th of July, we meet two couples in their early thirties - one on the brink of parenthood and the other trying to conceive. When the older couple from upstairs rattles the party, the friends' sense of themselves and their future is changed.
Are two people in love enough?
