“Cry It Out” by Molly Smith Metzler

August 1-3 at The Savoy Denver
August 8-24 at the Dairy Arts Center

“Empathetic and enjoyable…it all rings utterly true.”

— Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

About the Play

Jessie is a frazzled corporate lawyer in a cutthroat Manhattan firm. Lina dropped out of her community college and has a life circumscribed by her working class roots on Long Island.

The two newly minted moms share one thing in common — they are both feeling isolated and trapped at home with their new babies.

In the yard between their houses — as far as their baby monitors will reach — they bond over sleep deprivation, unreliable childcare and “having it all.”

Cry It Out is a smart and candid comedy about parenthood and class in America today — and the hard choices all mothers make.
