Just Theater Presents CRY IT OUT
by BWW News Desk - June 28, 2019
Just Theater, in association with Custom Made Theatre, presents the Bay Area Premiere of Molly Smith Metzler's CRY IT OUT. A winner of the ACTASteinberg Citation and 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." Set in a part of Long Island where class lines and property lines bump up against each other, Cry It Out is the story of Jesse, a Manhattan lawyer trapped in the suburbs with her newborn, and her next-door neighbor Lina, a working class Long-Islander and college drop out.

Cry It Out is directed by Molly Aaronson-Gelb, who directed Just Theater's hit productions of A Maze and We Are Proud to Present…
