Review: CRY IT OUT BY MOLLY SMITH METZLER at Little Fish Theatre
by Shari Barrett - Nov 28, 2025
All four actors as well as director Mirai are to be commended for keeping the action moving and characters deeply present in their own truths. Given the small and up-close staging in the black box theatre, every audience member will feel like a fly on the fence in Jessie’s backyard while seated on all four sides of the center stage playing area. Each in their own ways creates a portrait of parenthood that is by turns raw, hilarious, joyful, and profoundly moving.

Review: CRY IT OUT at MILDRED'S UMBRELLA
by Brett Cullum - Sep 14, 2024
Sometimes, a play does what no other artistic medium can do. It can feel intimate, immediate, and alive. CRY IT OUT from MILDRED’S UMBRELLA is one of those living productions that feels like you are watching three real women deal with being a mother and looking at how that is going to affect every aspect of their lives.
