8 P.M. Theater Production: Cry It Out THEATRE MARGOT

By Molly Smith Metzler / Directed by Lori Wolter Hudson. In this comedy, two new moms from vastly different financial backgrounds have one thing in common, the love they feel for their newborns. Their friendship is tested when a third mom tries to make the duo a trio, with mixed and surprising results. The play takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, and the effect class has on parenthood in America. This production is made possible by the Richard A. Harrison (‘57) Visiting Theatre Artist Endowment. Tickets are $8 for students and seniors, $12 for general admission and free to Franklin College Students with a valid student ID. Reservations can be made by email at tickets@FranklinCollege.edu or by phone at 317.738.8029 or 800.852.0232, ext. 8029.
