(TBG Theatre, 312 West 36th St, New York, NY 10018) (8pm) Exit Cuckoo is a one-woman show that explodes the myth of motherhood. How is a busy parent expected to produce offspring, rear young, build her nest, and still find time to forage for food and a decent living? In nature, the cuckoo bird solves this problem by leaving its egg in another bird's nest and the host bird then assumes responsibility for the unborn hatchling. Answers for the modern, diverse and driven women of New York City are more difficult to uncover. ($18.00) (212.279.4200) Event Website Note: this event runs July 18, 26, 31, and 8 - 9
