Ugly Cry- Theater Performance

  • The Chain Theatre 312 West 36th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY, 10018 United States (map)

Grieving social media-obsessed millennial Katie Mack (award winning creator) uses the only thing she really knows to bring him back— her phone.  A ninety-minute uniquely immersive phones-on show where the audience engages with their phones to try to bring the now-deceased, Eric Anthamatten, back to life. 

A show about loss in the age of Instagram, Facebook & TikTok and the little legacies we leave behind. Based on a true story. 

Event will feature a talk back moderated by author, Tawny Lara; featuring grief therapist, Gina Moffa and Ugly Cry creator, Katie Mack.

Audience Advisory/Notes: BRING YOUR OWN PHONE (BYOP) Unlike traditional theater going experiences, this is a phones-on INTERACTIVE and IMMERSIVE show. At #UGLYCRY this means that we cannot tell the story without you! We promise there will be nothing done to embarrass you, but we might ask you to be brave and interact with the set, the performer and each other. All you need is your smartphone, yourself, and a sprinkle of grief.  CW/TW: death, murder, grief, sex
