CRY IT OUT Comes To South Bend Civic Theatre 8/13
The production runs August 13th through 22nd, 2021.
CRY IT OUT begins performances at South Bend Civic Theatre next month!
Four months ago, Jessie was a corporate lawyer with a glamorous Manhattan life. Today, she is in dirty yoga pants, covered in breast milk, trying to comfort a screaming newborn. Isolated in a sleepy Long Island suburb while her commuter husband works long hours, Jessie is desperate to talk to anyone besides 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. Happy to have found each other, the two moms agree to meet for coffee during naptime in the sweet spot behind their adjoining yards where both their baby monitors get reception, and a fast friendship is born. Jessie and Lina may be from vastly different financial backgrounds-Jessie is Ivy-educated and of the manor born; Lina has a night-school nursing degree and terrible credit-but they have one huge thing in common: they've been cracked open by the love they feel for their newborns.
One coffee quickly becomes a daily coffee, as Jessie and Lina laugh through the highs and lows of motherhood. But their intimacy is punctured when a stranger who lives in the mansion up on the cliff appears in the yard, asking if they would include his wife, a new 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. After all, this is a town where the haves and the have-nots live in very close company; up on the cliff is Sands Point, one of the most expensive Great Gatsby-esque neighborhoods in the whole country.
How could that woman possibly be having a "hard time"?
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.
This production takes place at Leeper Park in South Bend. Please bring your own lawn chair or picnic blanket since this is an outdoor production with no formal seating.
In case of inclement weather which would result in a cancelation of the show. Tickets will be honored for any upcoming Cry It Out production.
